Abbottstown / East Berlin Food Pantry

We collect and donate food to our local food pantry, plus several of our members volunteer each month. In partnership with New Hope Ministries the Mobile Food Pantry comes to Trinity Lutheran Church in East Berlin on the First Wednesday of the month from 4-6pm, and to St. John's on the following Thursday from 3-5pm to help those in need.  Approximately 250 individuals are served between the two locations. 


God's Work, Our Hands Sunday!
