BREAKING BREAD
How the Family Christian Center Food Pantry
helps sustain families in transition
• How can I
reach the
food
pantry?
• How many
people are
fed each
month?
• Who are
‘families in
transition’
and how
can I help?
2. • Families in transition are comprised of so
many people pushing past the hardships of
life. From sudden career changes to housing
issues and relationship troubles, it’s
surprising how easily we too can find
ourselves in “transition.”
• Family Christian Center and its pastor, Rick
VanWagner, saw a way to help his community
and decided to craft a solution that’s fed
thousands of people in need.
A NEED RECOGNIZED
3. • The Family Christian Center Food Pantry
helps families and children of Lake County,
Florida. Below are some more facts about it.
GREAT GAINS
• The pantry feeds between
800 and 1,000 families each
month.
• The pantry has previously
supplied 70,000 pounds of
food annually to people in
need.

relocation, there’s now more
room for donated goods.

traveled extensively to minister at churches
both nationally and internationally, there’s no
greater joy than helping neighbors.

public, businesses at the local or national level,
government offices or other food banks that are in
a position to help.

the pantry is always happy to hear from members
of the public with needs or those who can donate.
