TMC Pantry's primary role is to show Jesus' compassion to individuals and families in our community facing:

  • Hunger
  • Difficult financial choices
  • Unforeseen financial setbacks
  • Underemployment - a situation in which individuals find it necessary to work in low-paying or low-skill jobs

In addition to distributing food, our long term goal is to provide in-house services and facilitate connections to resources in Cochise County that confront the root causes of hunger and encourage self-sufficiency.  

We distribute food bags to our neighbors in Golden Acres, residents of Sierra Vista, and organizations in Cochise County that help people achieve self-sufficiency including; Hoops House (2 locations), Hope Inc, SEABHS, Oxford House (2 locations), Jennifer's Place and Bonita Springs Apartments.  

We also distribute food bags at Community Connect, held the first Tuesday of the month from 10-1 at the Community Center.
Available to help with delivering food bags to our outreach locations? Help needed on the 3rd Tuesday of the month from 11:30-1:00.

September Pantry News

Pantry Supporters and Volunteers,

Thank you for another great month serving with the TMC pantry.
We saw and blessed 66 people with food in the month of September and that helped feed an approximate 234 hungry family members.

Just a little over half of our food goes out in food delivery to organizations we support around town. We are able to give to:
 SEABUS provides mental and behavioral health services to the community.
 Hoop House is a recovery home for men with substance abuse addiction.
 Oxford House is another recovery home/ halfway house in Sierra Vista.
Hope Inc provides behavioral health recovery-based community services.
 Jennifer’s House provides women a place to live in drug recovery or recent release from incarceration helping them find work and reestablish themselves in the community.
Bonita Springs Apartments are low-income apartments with many residents in need of help with food.
Community Connect is a one stop shop resource center offering a wide variety of assistance to anyone in need.

Our focus for the next month will be our Blessing Boxes. We already had a letter out describing our Blessing Boxes for Thanksgiving. Please remember to volunteer with anything you may be able to help with. This upcoming Sunday Oct. 27th with information tables between services, and Saturday November 23rd with delivery. We are excited to bless the community with these meals.

Thank you for all your time, prayers, and donations to the pantry.

Faithfully,
Julie Pedersen
