The mission of the Suthers Center Christian Outreach Food Pantry is to combine the efforts and resources of our participating ministries and community to provide nutrition to members of our surrounding community who are experiencing temporary life challenges. Our efforts to reduce hunger are enhanced by reducing food waste by capitalizing on opportunities to collect and use excess food from local food sources. Suthers Center is also committed to educating and engaging the local community in the quest to fight hunger and homelessness.
