NewsA pile of cans and boxes of food balances precariously on top of a scale which weighs out at 1476 pounds of food

CUCC has stepped up its commitment to feeding our neighbors through the monthly collections for Urban Ministries of Wake County’s food pantry. Items donated on the first Sunday of December weighed 145 pounds, bringing the congregation’s 2025 total to 1,476 pounds – almost a ton of care and concern.

Urban Ministries’ food pantry has updated its “most wanted” list to match clients’ needs. The new list is posted on the collection box, and takeaway copies are available on the box as well. Or print your own copy here.

Thank you for providing the food items below on the first Sunday of the month or making a financial donation to the pantry anytime at here.  For more information on this ministry, please contact Merrilee Jacobson (via Breeze or office.cucc@gmail.com).
