Valley Falls United Methodist Food Pantry Fund

Goal: $5,000.00

Specific Need

The Valley Falls United Methodist Food Pantry provides food assistance to individuals and families throughout Valley Falls and the surrounding communities. Match day donations help us purchase nutritious food, personal hygeine items, and other household essentials through our partnership with harvesters, where we can stretch every donated dollar to serve more neighbors in need.

Your support keeps our pantry shelves stocked year-round and ensures that anyone facing a difficult time has access to healthy food and compassionate care.
