EMERGENCY FOOD is available any time the Pantry is closed by contacting the church office: 740-353-4159 or [email protected]. (This counts as a monthly visit to the Pantry.)

You'll need to fill out a form with your name, address, phone number, and the number of people in your household.

We also have a list of other pantries in the county that we can pass out or email.

God's Pantry is ordinarily open on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Wednesdays of the month from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. (It can be visited once per month.)

Please bring a valid form of ID (driver's license or state ID), proof of residency in Scioto County (mail), and social security numbers for everyone in your household. You'll need to fill out a form, and your information will be added to the computer.
Look for the sign near the entrance steps from our Waller St. parking lot (across
from PHS) and enter the lower level.

The Pantry is also accessible from the ramp entrance (facing the PHS track) with a chairlift from the first floor to the lower level. Contact the church office to use this alternate entrance (740-353-4159). Currently, only manual wheelchairs can be used on the chairlift.

We are a choice-based pantry, which means you are able to shop for the items you want using your points (like at Kroger). We follow the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services income guidelines, and "points" to spend on food, household, and cleaning items are determined by household size.

This summer, our worship series, Anything But Ordinary, will follow the stories of Abraham’s family from the Revised Common Lectionary (Year A).

Alongside the series, a weekly devotional from A Sanctified Art will be available (see photo above), featuring visual art, written reflections, and spiritual practices to deepen our journey through these sacred stories together. I suggest looking it over on Sunday after worship or perhaps later on in the week.

These are free and available by the bulletins. They’re beautiful, large-print, and have plenty of room to write and doodle!
