Each spring and fall, we collect food donations for 25 needy families identified by the Mars and Seneca Valley school districts.

FISH and FISH Jr. helped the Food Ministry Team pack 25 boxes for families in need. Thank you for making it such a huge success.

Caring for Our Neighbors

Dutilh’s Food Ministry focuses on providing food pantry items in support of local families in need. By creating awareness within our church walls, we can share our blessings with families that are less fortunate. We accomplish this in three ways:

  1. We regularly provide items to two community ministries.

    • VOICe — is a non-profit emergency crisis shelter that provides a 30-day temporary housing option for women and their minor children who must flee their homes because of domestic violence.

    • Gleaners Food Bank — is a non-profit, non-denominational organization that once a month provides food to Cranberry Township residents who meet Butler County income guidelines.

    2. In the spring and at Thanksgiving, we have a Food Drive for 25 families identified by the Mars and Seneca Valley school districts who could use some assistance. In addition to a food donation, we provide each family with a gift card to purchase perishable items.

    3. Quarterly monetary donations to Gleaners Food Bank and Evans City Food Cupboard support their mission to provide healthier food options for clients, such as fresh dairy, meats, produce, etc.

We are blessed by your generous support of Dutilh's food ministry through your donations to the general fund.  The food ministry also makes monetary donations each quarter to Gleaners Food Bank and the Evans City Food Cupboard and supports other area food banks when possible.
