We give out a lot of food here at Bethany to members in need and people from the community. The heaviest use is at the end of the month into the beginning of the next month. That is usually when state/federal assistance runs out and people find themselves without. The following items are the ones needed most often:

• Boxed dinners or sides
• Pasta & Sauce
• Cereal & Granola Bars
• Canned fruit & applesauce
• Rice, Ramen Noodles & Cup o’ noodles
• Canned Meats (Tuna/Chicken)
• Hearty Soups, Stews & Chili
• Macaroni & Cheese
• Peanut Butter & Jam
• Toiletries
• Paper Products
• Diapers/Wipes
• Laundry Soap/Dryer Sheets
• Limited storage for fresh/frozen items

Please closely check the expiration dates and bring your items to the church and put them under the mailboxes or on the counter in the old kitchen. Thanks!

Our building committee is always looking for volunteers to help with projects in and around our building and grounds. If you have some time to give and would like to help with yard maintenance or building maintenance, please contact Dave Caston.

Periodically we have a need to provide meals for those in our church who are ill, recovering or who have just had a baby. We send out what is called a Meal Train.  You can go to Mealtrain.com to learn more about how that works.  If you are on our church e-mail list, you will automatically be notified when a meal train has been started.  Contact the church office if you would be willing to be added to a list of people to call for an emergency meal.

We have a very active and growing Children’s Ministry here at Bethany Baptist! We can always use more hands to help in the Nursery, Sunday School, Children’s Church, Bethany Moms, Moms Connection (for Mom’s with Elementary kids) Upward Sports and AWANA. All of our children’s workers must fill out a Temporary Volunteer Staff Application and pass a criminal/sexual background check.
