Additional ways we give support through our pantry:

Working with the Chesterfield Food Bank on Ironbridge Road. You can also support the food bank through volunteering and monetary donations. Click here to learn more about them.
We support CCHASM (Chesterfield-Colonial Heights Alliance for Social Ministry) when they send us families to help with food assistance.
Lil’ Blessing Pantry - Our food pantry sits on church property and is located next to the community board. Anyone accessing the pantry by vehicle would park in the church parking lot and walk up to it. This pantry is for anyone in need during these difficult times. The idea of this pantry is to "Take what you need and Give what you can."What our Pantry is and how we’re working to help others

A Short Note from Doris and Karen:
Regarding our Perishable Food Program

We are still a work in progress regarding our Perishable Foods Program. Due to us having limited refrigerator/freezer space, this will be on a small scale. But we feel like this is a beginning and can hopefully grow in the future.
Some guidelines for our Perishable Foods are:

Any cold items cannot be open or repackaged

They can be frozen but not out of code.

Foods can be placed in the Designated FP Refrigerator/Freezer, and you must make Karen and Doris aware of it being placed there.

Do what you can and all you can do is enough!

Whether our Church campus is closed or open, our Food Pantry is always open! There is and continues to be a great demand for food distribution to those in need. We are always here to support our church family and surrounding community with food as needed. If anyone hears of a need, please call the church at (804)276-5803 during office hours or send an email to office@friendshipra.org. We will get back to you promptly.
