 Quite possibly our most effective ministry here at Calvary Chapel, the servants of our Food Closet are dedicated to making life better for others. Comprised almost entirely of retired folks, these hard-working saints weekly gather hundreds, if not thousands of pounds of food from local food banks and outlets stretching from Roseville to Placerville; they sort it, bag it, distribute it, and even carry it to the cars of those who have a need for some groceries. Even more, our servants prepare pastries, coffee and other tasty treats in order to facilitate fellowship with folks who come to the Food Closet for groceries and (for some) their only human contact all week. And they do this every Tuesday.
Our Food Closet serves three vital purposes:
Jesus told His disciples, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth..." (Acts 1:8). The Georgetown Divide is our "Jerusalem," and the Food Closet is a witness to all locals that Jesus is alive and that He cares. The Lord also declared, "It is more blessed to give than to receive...", and our servants and those to whom they minister are most certainly blessed.
Feel free to drop by our Fellowship Hall and join in the ministry of the Food Closet for some great fellowship, fattening treats, good coffee - and most of all, for serving the Lord.
