Tice United Methodist Church Food Pantry is a majored outreach programs for our church and has been serving Lee County and the Tice community for over 30 years. We are proud to be partnered with Harry Chapin and Midwest Food Banks. We proved food assistance for approximately 200 families and households per week. Donations are accepted through the church office and volunteer/community service opportunities are available.
The Food Pantry is open each Wednesday excluding the 5th Wednesday of any month and major religious and national holidays.
