The First Presbyterian Church of Chili Food Cupboard first opened its doors in June 2021. In the beginning, the Food Cupboard served three to five families in the area. Since then, the cupboard has grown to assisting around 150 families, feeding approximately 530 people each month.
In March, families were treated to bread and soup bags which were donated by Pampered Chef.
The Food Cupboard couldn’t operate without its faithful volunteers. On March 15, the Food Cupboard Committee thanked its volunteers with a lunch following its distribution day.
The First Presbyterian Church of Chili’s Food Cupboard is open at 3600 Chili Avenue on the third Saturday of each month from 10 to 11:30 a.m. for drive-by food pick-up. No special requirements need to be met in order to receive food. The Food Cupboard is always looking for community members to assist with the operations. To volunteer, call the church at 585-889-9896. Food donations of hard to secure items, such as peanut butter, crackers and breakfast cereal, are also being accepted. Food items can be dropped off at the church from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
