Right now, families in our community are being pushed to the margins by a government shutdown and cuts to SNAP benefits. These are policy choices that deepen hunger and hardship. In response, Pastor Warnock is calling on Ebenezer to show up and help feed our neighbors.
We are stocking our Crisis Closet with non-perishable food items to support our neighbors in need. This is not charity. It’s how we build the Beloved Community. Can we count on you to bring what you can?
If you find yourself in need, grocery distribution will begin Sunday, November 2nd at 11:45 a.m. at the Ebenezer Church Horizon Sanctuary Ebenezer is here for you. We will offer food for the body, prayer for the soul, and community for the journey. No one stands alone. You are seen, loved, and held in the grace of God and the care of this church family.
Jesus reminds us in Matthew 25 that “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” We are called to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, welcome the stranger, and care for those in need. Now is the time to live out that calling.
Drop-Off Locations:
- Security Desk at 101 Jackson Street NE, open from 9 am. to 4 pm, during the week and on Saturday
- Horizon Narthex, Sunday morning, before and after worship service
Suggested Items Include:
- Canned vegetables, fruits, and meats
- Pasta, rice, and grains
- Peanut butter and jelly
- Shelf-stable milk and juice
- Baby food and formula
- Breakfast items (cereal, oatmeal, granola bars)
If you or someone you know is in need of food support, please reach out to Rev. Bronson Elliott Woods for assistance. (
Your donations will go directly to families impacted by the loss of federal food assistance.
Canned Food Drive
The Food Justice and Crisis Closet Ministry invites the congregation to join us in supporting our neighbors in need. We are collecting canned goods and non-perishable food items in the narthex every Sunday through the end of October. All donations will go directly to our community partners at the Midtown Assistance Center, helping us strengthen our collective efforts to address the needs of those who are food insecure. Together, let us continue to embody the love of Christ by ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry.
