Food & Fellowship Ministries

Sometimes the people of our church could use some extra help at home. Instances can include a new baby coming home or a loved one unexpectedly passing away, and in such cases, we offer Food Ministry to the family. How does the Food Ministry work? Several of our members prepare a meal at their home and then take the meal to the family in need. If you are interested in helping with this ministry,

Western Fairfax Christian Ministries
Food Pantry
https://wfcmva.org/why-we-matter/food-pantry/
WFCM offers a “choice model” pantry which empowers our clients. Our clients can come into our food pantry and “shop” as they would at a grocery store by picking their own selections from the shelves. We do everything we can to continually stock all the items that would make a fully nutritious meal. Products include non-perishable items such as canned goods, as well as breads, produce, meat, and dairy products. In addition to food items we also carry baby-specific items such as diapers and baby food for those who have infants.
