The Food Ministry now serves meals to approximately 100 people each week for breakfast and lunch. We also provide grocery assistance every week at The Sunday Market as well as during the week on an as needed basis with The Pantry.

I am often asked “What do you need?” So we now have the Wish List/Needs List below, which will be kept updated. Please share this list with others and also direct them here.

An immediate need is for Easter Sunday (April 4th). We are mostly in need of hams, but we also need potatoes, broccoli-frozen bags, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese. If anyone can help with any of these items, it would be greatly appreciated. These items can be brought to the church kitchen by Thursday, April 1. If you donate food items, please label them Food Ministry and check with the front desk. They know where items are to be stored. We appreciate any donations. Thank you for caring.

If there are any questions, please contact foodministries@willamettechurch.com.

Thank you!

Rhonda Johnson, Leader—Food Ministries
