SERVING OUR COMMUNITY
BODY AND SOUL
Body and Soul
Started in 2018, Advent's Body and Soul maintains a permanent pantry at the church offering food, household, and personal supplies. The pantry is open every weekday. In addition, we also operate mobile pantries that go to local schools twice a month to offer food to those who are unable to come to our church location. All our work is done by volunteers. We always welcome newcomers.
