4th Friday of Every Month!

Now Accepting Gently Used Clothing & Food Donations!

The Food Pantry & Clothes Closet Ministry is very active, serving not only some of FBC’s members, but also a number of people in the community. This ministry is growing more and more every month. We are in need of food, gently used clothing or monetary donations to ensure that we can meet the growing needs of the precious people of Galt and surrounding areas! Feel free to stop by and drop your donations off at the Church Office during office hours.

About the Food Pantry Ministry

Food and clothing are distributed on a regular basis on the 4th Friday of each month at 10:30 a.m. Jimmie Hollingsworth works with the South County Services on the third and fourth Thursday of each month, helping to fill bags for their food distribution. After these bags are filled, the remaining food from the Food Link is divided between all of the churches, who devote their time to help. 

The food may be canned vegetables, instant potatoes, pasta products, juices, peanut butter, fruits, puddings, granola bars, and other nutritious items. The food from the Food Link is stored in the Food Pantry at the church. The day before the food distribution, Jimmie fills one bag for each person expected to pick up food on Friday. On the distribution day, Jimmie and his wife, Kathy, go to Raley’s and pick up dairy, produce, deli, and bakery goods that have been set aside for them on that day. When people come to the Food Pantry, they take one of the bags of staples and choose from the perishables from Raley’s. Food is also available throughout the month for emergency needs.

The Food Closet at First Baptist Church of Galt is ministered by the Hollingsworths.
Jimmy and Kathy Hollingsworth
share God's love as they reach
out to the community with food.		The Food Closet at First Baptist Church of Galt is a vital ministry to reach the community.
Wow, I guess Kathy's NOT
doing all of the work!
