In an effort to partner with our city and surrounding communities during this COVID-19 crisis, Evergreen Christian Community has ceased daily operation of our Food Pantry in favor of sharing our donations and our service with Thurston County Food Bank. In this manner we will most directly meet the immediate needs of the most affected.

We encourage you, if you have food to donate or hours of service you could offer, call Allison Zusi at 360-754-5703 x105 or email gleaning@thurstoncountyfoodbank.org.
