Rogers Park Baptist Church Food and Clothes Pantry. 
 
Rogers Park Baptist Church operates a food pantry available to those in need -- for church members as well as those living in our community.  The pantry is stocked with non-perishable staples, frozen food, shoes, coates and clothing as well as some toiletries.  Arrangements can be made to access the pantry through the church office. 
 
Every Monday at 10:00 a.m., we have available breads and pastries donated by a local supermarket.  We also have clothing available (supplies vary based on week to week donations).
 
All items are dependent on donations for stock.  If you would like to make a donation please contact the church office.  We are currently needing all forms of donations.  Grocery bags, clothing, frozen foods and non-perishable foods are urgently needed.  All financial donations are tax deductable.  Rogers Park Baptist Church is a registered 501(c)(3) charity.  All monetary donations are tax deductable.
 
Ring the bell at the side door off of Wolcott to gain entry.

    Testimonials:
     
         "Rogers Park Baptist church has been here 120 years and they are helping people in need... I thank God everyday for this church that is so caring and loving to all people of all types. 
         I will never forget the feeling of pure acceptance and desire to help us all equally and with unconditional love and concern by the church family.  Those groceries were so appreciated by myself, my children and my husband.
         I hope and pray the food pantry can continue for all the people who have needs in your area"
