Potter's House Ministries - AmeriCorps VISTA

The Potter's House is a choice food pantry, we provide senior boxes to poverty stricken seniors, we have a summer feeding program and a rural feeding program for children in our community to allow them to be fed and have some fun in the summer months while out of school.

We provide Christmas gifts to children at Christmas time. We are also a benefits application site for applications such as HEAP, PIPP, SNAP, and medical insurance. We are also a year around Tax preparation site. We are trying to become more of a one stop shop in our community. If we don't have what the client needs, we may know someone who does.
