Our goal is to reach a broader base of needs. As we expand our outreach, we are finding that our community, though it has many needs, is rich with helping hands and resources. Our desire is to match these available resources with the needs we find each day. This in turn, will enrich our community and build individual lives the way that Jesus Christ has commanded us to.
Our Mission It is our calling and honor to serve those in need with love as Jesus asks us, not out of pity, but with respect for their human dignity, not just feeding their body but providing for their overall well being-body, soul and spirit.
Our Thanks To all the wonderful Volunteers, Churches, Companies and citizens of our fine community for all their support. You are the backbone of our service organization and we appreciate you!

ROC FOOD PANTRY started in 2004 out of the back door of the First Christian Church. ROC stands for Reaching Our Community. In 2007 a large financial donation was given to FCC to expand the food ministry and the 4000sq ft. warehouse where ROC is now located was purchased. ROC has grown significantly since then and continues to do so. Distributing only two days a week, over 10,000 people have been served in just 6 months and we are now consistently serving around 2000 people a month.
