A Little Bit about the Norfolk Food Pantry

The Norfolk Food Pantry began with a 1992 pilot program in January by a group of volunteers at Emmanuel
Baptist Church. The Food Pantry operates with volunteer personnel and is under the direction of the EBC
Mission Board. It was opened to the community at large in September of 1992. Emmanuel serves as host
because of our conviction to help those in need. (See Matthew 25:40; 1 John 3:17,18; Galatians 6:9-10.)

Monetary Help:

The Pantry relies heavily on monetary donations. We purchase the majority of our food from the Greater
Boston Food Bank. We also use the funds to buy items not always available through the GBFB. Along with
food, there are utilities, building maintenance as well as appliance upkeep. So, any funds donated will be
greatly appreciated! You can give online with the button below, one time or continuous. Make sure to choose
the Food Pantry option on the “fund” box.

documenting donations to the church during the previous calendar year. Letters state the value of any
currency given. Letters cannot state the value of donated items, but will include a listing of such items if it is
provided to the Financial Secretary. The determination of the fair market value of any item given is the
responsibility of the donor.
