The Neighborhood Pantry is an outreach ministry intended to partner with and support our local community. Contributions are allowed from throughout the neighborhood surrounding New Beginnings Church, and anyone is welcome to use the supplies donated if they need them. The motto of the Neighborhood Pantry is “take what you need, leave what you can”. We believe this ministry is a very practical way to show the love of God to the Owatonna community.
