The hub for community outreach is the white building on the corner of the church property, and this building is home to C3 Food Pantry. C3 Food Pantry is dedicated to serving and providing for the needs of our local Portland community through food assistance and groceries.
Kaz Brooks is the Executive Director of C3 Food Pantry and oversees a team of 50+ volunteers. C3 Food Pantry provided pre packed boxes of groceries to the community every Tuesday at 11am until supplies run out in a drive through/walk up line.
