DRC Food Pantry

At Del Rey Church we take it very seriously that we are to be a generous people toward others. Though poverty is not a major problem in our city, we are not exempt from reaching out to those outside of our city with practical and loving help.

Added to this, there are many who suffer in silence within our city. There are people in our church and community who regularly need help with groceries. When someone comes to our church hungry, we like to be able to feed them. Thus, we started a small food pantry to be able to care for those in need – within our community and beyond.

Sharing food is a very practical way to show someone the love of God. Jesus Himself fed people who were hungry. He miraculously fed thousands and used it as an opportunity to share about how He was (and is) the true bread of life.

The food pantry is stocked by the generosity of our church and community. We have a wooden barrel in the lobby area of the sanctuary for collecting non-perishable food items. We are always in need of donations. We encourage anyone to bring food to donate to the pantry. This can be done any Sunday from 10 AM - 12 PM or simply come by the church during the week to drop off food at the office door located on the corner of Saran and 83rd.

At times our stock of food becomes a bit unbalanced, that is, we have a large stock of some items while we may be out of other items. Please check this page often!

The following list identifies items that are either low in our stock or are totally out of stock.

If you would like to help, we would welcome a gift of any of these items.
