Food Pantry
At Calvary Chapel Highland we have established our Food Pantry with one
Mission : to feed the community in and around
Highland as God leads . We give all the glory to God for supporting this
Mission . Since we have opened our doors we have had enough food to get us through each distribution; despite how bare our shelves seemed. We have always focused on handing out the necessities: pasta, rice, cereal, soup, and frozen meats. If you would like to donate money, food or your time as a volunteer please give us a call or stop in. We are at the church on the second and forth Saturday of each month from 9am to 11:00am. The coffee is on and there is always a time of fellowship in the solid ground café.
