Choice Pantry
Reaching lives through practical provision in West Dayton.
The Gospel Moves
We believe the Gospel does not stay inside the walls of a sanctuary. It moves. It moves into homes, into workplaces, into streets, and into every corner of the city where people are waiting to know that they are seen and that someone cares. At The MarketPlace Movement, reaching a life, enhancing a life, and advancing a life are not additions to our mission. They are the mission.
The Choice Pantry is one of the ways we live that conviction on the west side of Dayton. It is more than a food distribution. It is a tangible declaration that every person who comes through our door is made in the image of God and deserves to be treated with dignity.
The name says it. Our neighbors are not handed a box. They make choices. They select what their families need. That distinction matters to us because it matters to the people we serve.
"Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into the house; when you see the naked, to cover him; and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?"
Isaiah 58:7 (NASB95)
