Inspired to Serve God's Pantry at St. Luke Takes Many Dedicated Volunteers by Karen Hinkle Our God’s Pantry location here at St. Luke is a very active ministry. Our pantry is open every day of the work week (Monday through Friday) and serves families twice a day (1:00-2:30 p.m. and 6:007:30 p.m.) It takes a lot of people to run the pantry efficiently and to keep it fully stocked. In addition to our day coordinators it takes 15-20 volunteers each week to serve as stockers. They unpack the day’s delivery, organize and stock the shelves, and prepare the
commodity food boxes. Another 15-20 volunteers serve clients in the afternoon. The evening shifts also have 3-4 persons each night. In a given week there may be 60 individuals serving as important members of this ministry. What inspires these volunteers to serve in this ministry? What do they gain from it? (continued on page 13, "On the Pantry shelf ".)
“He says, 'Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.' The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.”
Psalm 46:10-11
