Windsor Presbyterian Church's FREE Little Food Pantry
Help us keep our FREE pantry full!
In an effort to address some of the food insecurity right in our neighborhood, we have installed a "Little Food Pantry" that will offer FREE food for ANYONE in need. The grassroots mini-food pantry movement began in 2016 in Arkansas, and the movement soon became global. It's all about neighbors helping neighbors right in their own neighborhoods. Join us in "working for good" by filling our new Little Food Pantry right at 63rd and University Avenue in Windsor Heights, Iowa.
Place your donations in the pantry, and if you are in need, please feel free to take what you can use.
Winter friendly foods are requested, such as dry soups, pastas, boxed/bagged grains/beans: rice, couscous, quinoa, red beans, white beans, dry cereals, dried fruits, granola bars, anything that will not freeze.
On the 3rd Sunday of each month we collect non-perishable food items or money to give to the Des Moines Area Religious Council (DMARC) Food Pantry.
Consider how you'd like to give!
Let us know how we can pray for you.
We have a Prayer Circle team that will pray for anyone in need. Your prayer request will be held in confidence unless you would like it included in our weekly email prayer list to the congregation. You can place your prayer requests in the offering plate on Sunday mornings or connect with us through info@windsorpc.org and you will be contacted by a Windsor Presbyterian Church Prayer Circle team member.
Our Prayer Shawl Ministry creates beautiful hand-knitted shawls that as they are created, each stitch is prayed for. These prayer shawls are given to those in need of prayer and the gift of being wrapped in love and support in challenging times.
Our men's group meets for a Lunch and Learn on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 11:30 to fellowship and discuss biblical passages about service to others and then respond to opportunities in our neighborhood and city to address the needs of others. Meeting in Ward Fellowship Hall at the church.
