At Calvary Lutheran Church of Sabula, we believe that nourishment is more than food, it’s a sign of community, compassion, and God’s care for each person. That’s why we operate a mobile food pantry supported by St. Stephen’s Branch of River Bend Food Bank, meeting the needs of our neighbors with dignity, respect, and service.
Schedule:
• 2nd Saturday of each month: 9:00 a.m.–10:30 a.m.
• 4th Thursday of each month: 5:30 p.m.–6:30 p.m. Please check our Facebook page for any updates, including changes due to inclement weather or scheduling adjustments.
Location: Please pull up near the back of the church on Washington Street, and we’ll bring the food out to your vehicle.
Who we serve:
Residents of Andover, Green Island, Hauntown, Miles, Preston, Sabula, Spragueville, and Teeds Grove (photo ID required).

How to access:
If you’re unable to make it at the scheduled time, please private message us on our Church Facebook page or email us to make special arrangements following the scheduled food pantry.
Why we do this:
Every month, our community comes together to share what we have so that none go hungry. Whether the need is greater because of changing benefits or unexpected hardship, our pantry stands ready because we believe that when one of us is fed, all of us are strengthened.
