The Food Box is an emergency food program. Local churches and individuals donate food to give to families in an emergency situation.
In 2007, over 9,350 local families received emergency groceries. Volunteers help sort, pack, and distribute the food for the Food Box.
A new ministry named The Brown Bag Program was added in the fall of 2002 as it was determined that grocery delivery to the homebound was needed in the Longview area. Teams of volunteers deliver bagged food from the food pantry one Saturday a month to elderly and disabled individuals.
