Food Pantry

Feeding The Five Thousand (FTFT) is Creekside's local food ministry. FTFT is a food pantry, but with a difference. Instead of just having a room full of food for folks to come and pick up, we have assembled bags that will feed a family of four for a week and deliver them.

Donations and More

FTFT operates on our campus and serves residents of Forsyth county. Volunteer opportunities include collecting, sorting, and delivering food items. Delivery volunteers are assigned a client, and the purpose of this relationship is not only to offer them food, but also build Christian relationships through prayer, connection, and invitation to worship at Creekside. Please visit our food pantry today for open house or stop the connection table to learn ways to serve. Contact:

FOOD DONATIONS: You may drop off these items at the church on Wednesdays between 11am and 12 noon at the preschool entrance. You will not need to get out of your vehicle, someone will be there to handle the groceries. If Wednesdays are not convenient for you, you can drop off the items anytime during the week before 10am at the preschool entrance then someone from FTFT will deliver them to the pantry.

MONETARY DONATIONS: You are also able to donate with a financial gift. Checks can be mailed to the church noted FTFT in the memo or dropped off in the church office mail drop.

Family Promise is a nationally known non-profit organization that supports homeless families. Creekside church partners with Family Promise in Forsyth county providing homeless families a safe place to stay for a week several times a year. While on our campus we provide a place for them to sleep, have meals, fellowship and allow families to have private time together. There are many opportunities to serve during our next host weeks.

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’" ~ Matthew 25:37-40

UPCOMING HOST WEEK / APRIL 25-May 2

APRIL 25-MAY 2 HOST WEEK INFO - This week will continue to be very different than prior to the pandemic. The families are staying at the home on the Forsyth/Cherokee line. Due to COVID and the desire to limit exposure to the families and congregation members, there is a small team that is staying at with families.

We are please to say that our participation has expanded for April/May. We will continue to provide meals but now will be able to host in-person at the offsite home that the families have been staying in over the past year. More details are provided in the Signup Genius link below.
