Every other Friday from 1:00 to 3:00 PM, the Atchison County Food Pantry opens in our basement, drive-through from the N. 8th Street alley. It runs entirely on volunteers and serves more than 600 families a year. Help on a pantry Friday, drop off non-perishables at the church office (peanut butter, cereal, canned meat, pasta and sauce, soup, canned fruit and vegetables), or give by check to First Christian Church with "Food Pantry" in the memo line. This month's dates are on the Pantry's Facebook page.
