For food donations, items must have legible, valid expiration dates and can be donated when the Food Pantry is open, or before or after one of our services or events at the church.

For clothing donations, all clothes should be put in our donation bins located in the parking lot across the street from the Parkertown Firehouse.  Again, please DO NOT leave any donations outside of our buildings.  We DO NOT accept used toys, furniture, appliances, etc.  If you have any questions, please contact the church office.
