Lighthouse Ministry/Food Pantry
Our Lighthouse/Food Pantry Ministry is a vital outreach of Fordyce First United Methodist Church. 90% of all available food, clothing, household items, shoes and toys are donated, as well as the labor of the individuals who oversee this ministry. We are so blessed to be able to be the hands and feet of Jesus, especially when it comes to meeting everyday needs for the basic necessities of life.
Our Lighthouse Ministries have varied times throughout the year when the community can come in, pick out and take home their choices of clothing, shoes and/or household items. As well, our Lighthouse Ministries offers these same services to families and individuals who have lost their belongings in a fire, storm or other unseen situation.
Our Food Pantry is available throughout the week, as well. We pack up food appropriate for the family size, along with a Bible, to each family in need. We work closely with our local and state offices, receiving referrals from them routinely. Each family is greeted with open arms and thanked for allowing us to assist them in their needs. When allowed, we also offer a prayer over the family and their needs. Currently, our Lighthouse Ministries/Food Pantry are led by Karen Archer.
