The Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry
Olivet Church is just one of the many churches and schools in the area that supports the Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry. The Hunger Committee, which is part of the Deacons, donates food and money to the Pantry. It has been running for over three years and feed 10,555 people with over 158,000 meals in 2004 alone. On some occasions the Pantry even handles collection and distribution of clothing. Thanks to the volunteer work of many people from many different organizations, the Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry continues to aid those in need in our area.

Hunger Committee
The Hunger Committee collects canned food each and every Sunday morning and then delivers the food to the Loaves and Fishes Closet at the Prospect Hill Baptist Church once a month. Additionally, the committee assists with a monetary gift to provide perishable items for those in need.

A card ministry is a remembrance by the Deacons to members of the congregation who are going through difficult times. The cards offer encouragement and support in their time of need.

The Hunger Committee also is able to assist families in the congregation who are in need of financial help. This is done through cooperation with the Moderator of the Deacons and the Pastor.
