Ecumenical Food Pantry

 

The pantry was started around 1989 by Ruth Ives and Gail Berry. They were both on the Mission Team at Second Congregational Church (SCC) at the time and found that they were overwhelmed with requests for money for food. They decided that they needed to do more. The founders went to seven local churches to see if an Ecumenical pantry could be formed. It was formed as a completely volunteer non-profit organization and remains so to this day.
