CLC Food Pantry

We have many ways that you can make a difference in your community. You can donate food, donate your time or you can help support us financially.

The CLC Food Pantry achieves its mission of providing food to people in need throughout the lake area by partnering with you. The work is funded by gifts – large and small – from individuals, corporations, foundations and others in our community and nationwide. Your gifts make a difference – in the lives of over 20,000 households in the Cedar Creek Lake area. Click the donate button below to make a difference in someone’s life today!
