For the nearly 30 percent of households with children going hungry every day in the greater Dayton area, Epiphany’s Pantry is more than a room full of food, clothing, and household items. The Pantry is an emergency source, rather than a place for recurring assistance to the same families. Thanks to financial gifts and weekly donations of clothing, food, and household items, the Epiphany Pantry is possible.
Where to Donate: Drop off donations at The Pantry, or place in donation tubs located in the Gathering Space of both campuses.
In-Season Clothing & Shoes: New or gently-used and clean for infants, children (including school uniforms and school bags), adults (both men and women)
Non-Perishable Food such as: Canned fruit and vegetables, soups, canned tuna and chicken, peanut butter, cereal, pasta, rice, potatoes, spaghetti sauce, baby food, bibs and bottles
Personal Care Items such as: Toothpaste, toothbrushes, bar soap, deodorant and shampoo
Financial Donations: If you would like to make a financial donation in lieu of bringing items to the church, our super shoppers will do the shopping for you. Donations can be made during the offering in worship or online.
Our Volunteers: A dedicated number of volunteers donate their time each week to organize donations and stock orders received from the social workers. While some volunteers are packing orders for food, others are filling requests for clothing, and household, cleaning and personal care items.
Share Your Time: If you would like to volunteer or have any questions, please contact the Epiphany Pantry at (937) 433-1449 x122. Thank you for providing for those in need!
The Clothing Pantry began in 1974 keeping supplies on shelves in the corner of a Sunday School room. Folks needing assistance came to the church and tried on the clothes. It wasn't long before this system needed revising and the Pantry partnered the social agencies, such as the Red Cross and Montgomery County Children's Service Bureau. Word spread and more agencies contacted us to help their clients. With the wonderful support from the congregation, Epiphany’s Pantry grew, and we were able to include small household items, emergency food, personal care items, and cleaning supplies for our brothers and sisters in need.
