Malachi Food Pantry With the rush to fill the holiday baskets, we are in need of food or monetary donations to help restock the shelves. We helped 78 families through the Thanksgiving and 78 families through Christmas and that pretty much depleted our shelves. If you choose to donate money (either cash or a check), please make the checks payable to Yankee Road First Church of God and on the memo line you can write Malachi Food Pantry. We are so grateful for how willing you’ve always been in the past to fill the needs of our community. Thank you so very much for your help and may God continue to bless you and your family.
