Emergency Food Pantry
Bethel's Emergency Food Pantry continues to grow as more and more people are in need. The Lord has led us into this ministry and He has provided what we need.
Thank you so much for your generous, on-going support of this ministry. At this time financial contributions continue to be a pressing need. There are also a few specific food items needed. They include:
canned meats and fruits

If you have an abundance of plastic bags - the pantry could use them. Just drop them off outside the office door. Thank you.
100% of your donation to Bethel marked for the Food Pantry will purchase food for hungry families.
THANKS TO LOWE'S Our great thanks go to Lowe's Home Improvement Center here in Southgate for donating a new refrigerator for our Emergency Food Pantry. Located in the Education Building, it makes it much easier to serve people as they come by for help. The next time you're in Lowe's, thank an employee on behalf of the church.
