BLESSINGS PANTRY:  Located at the United Presbyterian Church, 940 Chestnut St, North Bend, NE and is available for anyone needing extra help with food. Current needs are listed on the following Facebook pages: United Presbyterian Church, Blessings Food Pantry, and St. Peter Lutheran Church. 

Open:  1st & 3rd Monday, 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. 

Tuesdays, 9:00 – 11:00 a.m.    Thursdays, 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.

NOTE: People can drop off directly at the pantry or to the North Bend Library. A big thank you to those who donate.

*Starting in January of 2025, patrons must provide both a photo ID and a current utility bill to be able to access the pantry. This new requirement is in addition to our current pantry usage policies. Patrons must be from the North Bend School district and may only select items for people in their own household. Patrons may shop once per week, may fill one provided paper bag or 2 plastic bags and must take note of the limits on items. The pantry is meant to be a stop gap, not a full grocery shopping experience. We encourage patrons to take only what they need as others depend on the pantry too.

COMMUNION WARE: Circle 2-Connie Wamberg & Revel Chapman  (April-May-June)
