Trinity United Methodist Church Opens RS Food Pantry

At the Tuesday evening meeting of the Trinity United Methodist Church, Roaring Spring, Ad Council members decided to open a food pantry.

A Facebook post and word of mouth was all it took to get the ball rolling. By Thursday, the shelving was up and stocked with donated goods. Monetary donations have begun to flow in as well.

“We are going to wait to see what is taken and then use the cash donations to buy more of what is needed,” Lisa Ebersole, administrative assistant at Trinity United said.

The food pantry is set up on the East Main Street side of the church and is available to anyone at any time, day or night, no questions asked.

“If you need it, take it. If you have a donation just drop it off,” Ebersole said.

According to Ebersole, the food pantry will remain available as long as it is needed.

The only requirement is that people only take what they need.

Trinity United Methodist Church is located at 434 E. Main Street, Roaring Spring (sometimes called the gray stone church at the Five Points in Roaring Spring).
