  The Common Pantry is a neighborhood emergency food relief center, feeding over 300 families a month. Our congregation rallies with two neighboring churches, Joyce United Methodist Church and Epiphany United Church of Christ, to support the Common Pantry. Together, our donations can make a big difference in the lives of those we serve.

  The Common Pantry offers confidential service to their clients during the week. To find out more about their hours and location, visit their web site at www.commonpantry.org. To learn about volunteer opportunities with The Common Pantry, contact the Pantry Director at (312) 327-0553.
