The Morning Star Lighthouse Pantry, an initiative of Morning Star Church, serves families in need in Dona Ana County by offering food assistance through two main programs. Firstly, their on-site program provides non-perishable and perishable food items to clients twice a month, with each family allowed one visit per month. Secondly, they collaborate with Adelante Development Center Senior Meal Services to deliver specially curated food bags to homebound seniors, addressing their dietary needs and health concerns.
Top pantry items in need are individual fruit cups, Mac and cheese, pop-top small individual fruit, tuna, or chicken.
