Thornapple's Food Pantry

Thornapple has a food pantry that is used to help families in need - those in our congregation and in our community.  Our Bhutanese community is especially appreciative of the help they receive through our food pantry.

We welcome donations of items throughout the year.  Please drop donations at church in the designated barrel just out side of the library.
