In need of some shelf-stable groceries or hygiene items to get through the week? Visit the First UMC Blessing Pantry at 200 N 15th Ave. The pantry is located in the glass box Wesley Entrance closest to Lander (which runs between the church and Pocatello Heights). The pantry is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. While the congregation takes up a special collection for the pantry every 3rd Sunday of the month during worship, we are always ready to accept gifts to the pantry. To suport it, you can drop food and hygiene items off at the church during office hours (Mon-Thur, 9:15am-1:00pm) or visit our Giving page.
