Who We Are

We are dedicated to showing the love of Christ in Byron Center and beyond.

We believe that starts with the most basic needs, food and clothing.


A Tale of Two Churches


Imagine two churches across the street from each other. Both realize that many people in their congregations and community are struggling with economic problems to a degree that they sometimes have trouble feeding their families. Both churches decide to set up food pantries to help. But they decide to run those pantries in different ways.

Why was it started?


The Buist Foundation had been sponsoring a mobile food pantry from Second Harvest Gleaners (now Feeding America) once a month during the year of 2007 and in early 2008. It was attracting approximately 150 families each month at which we would give out 10,000 pounds of food.
