	How We Operate Faith & Deeds operates solely with an all-volunteer staff of committee members and helpers. Services and assistance are provided free of charge to those in need. In order to provide assistance to others the Pantry relies on donations from the church, community, and local businesses. Donations may be financial in nature or in the form of household goods -- groceries, personal hygiene items, general household goods, etc. Financial donations are used to offset the cost of operation (lease, insurance, utilities, etc.) and to purchase goods not already donated.

"Suggested Donation" grocery bags are available after services the weekend before the drive. Pick one up and fill it up with the items suggested on the bag. Then drop it off at the main doors of the church either during the 5:00 Saturday evening service or at the 9:00 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. services on Sunday morning. Special Note: If you miss a monthly donation day, that's okay! Canned and boxed goods may be left at the Faith & Deeds donation box just inside the main doors at any time.
