Chuck Wagon Ministries, a food bank that previously operated out of Kingdom Embassy Northwest in East Wenatchee and as a mobile service, is moving its operations to King's Harvest Church of Christ in Wenatchee. The food bank will now be open every Saturday at 11 a.m. until the food supply runs out.

Why it matters

The move to King's Harvest Church of Christ will make it easier for residents in the greater Wenatchee Valley to access the food bank services, as the new location has no stairs and a larger area for guests. This is especially important during periods of economic uncertainty when local food pantries provide crucial relief to those living in poverty.

The details

Chuck Wagon Ministries, founded by Bob Rogers of Lighthouse Christian Ministries, has been providing food assistance to thousands of Okanogan County residents living in poverty. The food bank previously operated out of Kingdom Embassy Northwest in East Wenatchee and as a mobile service. However, starting on Saturday, February 24, the food bank will begin operating out of King's Harvest Church of Christ in Wenatchee, which has a facility that is more accessible for guests.
