Serve with the Lamb's Basket Food Pantry

SMRBC partners with LAMB's Basket food pantry to help Henrico County Residents in need of food assistance. Clients can be referred by area churches and organizations such as Feedmore, Catholic Charities, and Henrico County Social Services, or can walk in for assistance. When community members come to SMRBC for help with food, we can refer them to LAMB's Basket for help.

SMRBC collects non-perishable food, as well as plastic and paper grocery bags. These items can be donated in the foyer at the outreach table, and are collected weekly and delivered to the LAMB's Basket. SMRBC members also have the opportunity to volunteer at the LAMB's Basket once a month.
