Here at Augusta First Church of the Nazarene we strive to share the compassion of the Lord with those in need in our community. Currently, we offer a three-part ministry to aid families in need of food.

Angel Food:

Each month there is an angel food menu available for a low cost of $25, with menu specials for an additional cost. This food package is available to everyone, regardless of income. You may purchase as many as you would like but you must purchase the main menu package in order to purchase the offered monthly special(s). On each months menu, there is a deadline by which all orders must be placed. Orders are taken Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in our church office or on Wednesdays and Sundays during church hours. We accept cash, check, and EBT cards. You must present proper I.D. with a check or EBT card payment. The food purchased will be in for pickup at 9 a.m. on the Saturday specified on the menu sheet, usually the last Saturday of the month.

Angel Food Ministries Reserves the Right to Substitute Any of the Above Items Due To Availability, Cost and Quality.

We Accept Food Stamps (EBT).

Manna Truck (Produce Give Away):
On the same Saturday that Angel Food arrives for pickup, we organize a produce give away. People arrive that morning to sign up and receive a number, then at 10:30 a.m. people are served in numerical order from lowest to highest. We recommend everyone brings a basket or box in which to place their produce. We never know in advance what type of produce we will be giving away but it is usually whatever is in season for that time of year.

WE HAVE NEW HOURS!!!! Each Tuesday, our food pantry is open from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. We give away canned goods, dry goods, hygiene supplies, produce, bread, and meat, as available. The quantities given are based on the household size and income level. When attending the food pantry, people are asked to bring a picture I.D. and fill out an information form that helps us determine their level of need. Two visits per month are allowed. Below are the listed requirements and forms that need to be completed to participate in this food hand out. If you have any additional questions please contact the church office for more details. Thank You.

Effective Jan. 2006, all of these requirements must be met to receive food pantry services at Augusta First Church of the Nazarene.

1.      Doors open at 10a.m. each Tuesday. There will be no exceptions to the day or time, regardless of circumstances.

2.      Each household may seek assistance from the Augusta First Food Pantry twice a month.

3.      Each visit upon entering the church, we ask you to sign in at the table in the foyer. At this time you may also sign up for prayer, if you would like someone to pray with you today.

4.      Each person signed in must have proper picture identification such as a driver’s license or military ID card.

5.      Each person signed in must have current verification of address. This means the customer must present proof of current address in their individual name and their proper address, such as a current utility bill.

8.      Due to limited resources, we may need to set a limit on certain food pantry items.

9.      Due to time constraints, we will help you walk through and bag your groceries. This will speed things along.
