In 1977 the ecumenical Voluntary Action Council was established to meet the needs of those less fortunate in the community. This program is supported by area churches, service organizations and concerned citizens in the West Liberty, Atalissa and Nichols area.
The West Liberty Food Pantry encourages patrons to use the link below for additional operating information. It is important for everyone to sign up for the text message alerts, as that technology becomes useful many times throughout the year.

Items for Christmas food boxes (about 140 each year) have been sorted and packed in our fellowship hall and distributed to many area families and senior citizens annually since that time. In 1983 the permanent Food Pantry was established at First Church United. The food pantry is open Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings, serving approximately 400 individuals with food each year.
