Roser Food Pantry

We provide groceries to people with Anna Maria lsland addresses or verified AMI connections. Call the church office (941-778-0414) to schedule an appointment. A bag of groceries is intended to feed one person for about 3 days. Families may receive more than one bag. When going through the food pantry, each family chooses two items from the refrigerator or freezer, four items from the shelves and a bag of groceries. Each bag of groceries provides an estimated retail value of $60 to $70.
