McCary’s
Chapel Food Pantry is open each Tuesday from 6:00 to 7:00 pm. Volunteers from McCary’s Chapel staff the
pantry. The pantry has recently been expanded to a larger room with a more
convenient waiting area for clients. Food for the pantry is purchased
from the East Texas Food Bank in Tyler.
Donations are also received from church members and individuals in the
community. The
Liberty City United Fund granted $3,000 to the McCary’s Chapel Food Pantry in
2007. Cash contributions are
accepted to help stock the pantry. Food
issued includes rice; dry beans; canned fruits, vegetables, and meats; dry
milk; potatoes; peanut butter and jelly; breakfast items; spaghetti and
sauce; limited freezer items and fresh produce. This
ministry serves residents in the Liberty City community. Clients may come to the pantry twice
monthly. Clients are required to show
proof of residence and are also requested to fill out an application to
provide data needed by the East Texas Food Bank. For more
information or to make donations, please call (903) 984-5622. |
