Serve

As a congregation, we have realized the need for emergency food and financial assistance in our community.  In response, the Caring and Sharing Program was created to help Manassas area families in their time of need.  This Ministry is supported through generous contributions by members of Grace Church, especially through Communion Sunday special offerings and food pantry donations.  If you wish to help with screening of recipients, or simply need more information about this Ministry, please contact the church office.

The Ministry is staffed by volunteers and is available on Wednesdays from 1:00-2:00 pm. Recipients of food and financial help are required to come to the church to fill out paperwork providing personal and financial information. Identification and a copy of the utility bill, lease, late due rent notice, etc., are also required. Each recipient may receive food assistance once a month.  Financial assistance is available once every six months.

We greatly appreciate donations of food to the pantry.
