I Care, Inc. Community Food Pantry
In collaboration with four local community churches, our food pantry operates with a single purpose: to provide essential sustenance to those facing food insecurity. The generous support of the Highland Park United Methodist Church allows us to allocate nearly all donations directly toward food supplies. Our dedicated volunteers representing Berryton UMC, Highland Park UMC, Shawnee Heights UMC, and Southern Hills Mennonite Church work tirelessly to pick up food, stock shelves, and distribute food boxes.
Location: Highland Park United Methodist Church
Operating Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
