Church To Launch Food Pantry

South Loop Community Church, 1347 S. State St., will officially launch its food pantry ministry on Saturday, September 17, 2011. The food distribution hours are 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Those coming to the pantry can expect to receive a bag of groceries with a selection of canned and dry goods.

Those in need of groceries should enter the church’s south parking lot; the pantry entrance is located there. If you would like to help the SLCC’s food pantry ministry, they’re accepting donations of non-perishable foodstuff items for free distribution. Donations may be dropped off at the church during weekly office hours.

SLCC hopes to be able to offer food staples to the local South Loop community on a regular basis. The goal is to eventually work with the Greater Chicago Food Depository, which will enable the church to purchase food reasonably to compliment what is donated.

Pantry entrance is by the south parking lot.
