Food Bank Ministry
In September of 2009, Reverend Steven Neal began the Food Bank Ministry (Commodities Ministry) at Petrie Memorial. This program is supplied by “Feeding America” and the USDA organizations.
The program is sponsored by Elkton Baptist Church, Fairview UMC, Johnson Chapel Church, Mt. Gilead Baptist Church, and Pleasant Hill UMC.
Petrie is blessed with many people who volunteer for this ministry every month through donations and/or service.
The Food Bank Ministry distributes food to 200+ families each month. To apply for this program, a proof of Todd County residence must be presented.
Linda D. Groves serves as coordinator and welcomes new volunteers to help at 9:00am to unload the truck/sort & bag the food and at 1:00pm to distribute the food.
The date of distribution is the 1st Tuesday after the 2nd Monday of each month.
Uniting for worship, education, fellowship, going out in missions across the street and around the world making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
