Epping Community Church
ECC Contact Information
Located at the corner of Route 27 and Main Street in Epping, the Epping Community Church sponsors, organizes and hosts the Community Food Pantry, Coats of Caring, and Thursday Soup of the Day Café. Each program is available to any who find themselves in time of need.
There is no charge or fee required to receive help from the Food Pantry, for coats, scarves, mittens, or for the Thursday luncheon meal. Caring individuals make these programs possible.
During the 2009 calendar year, the food pantry program is on target for serving over 1500 families and individuals.
A very special “thank you” to those who join us in caring for others. We partner with them and want you to know of their caring support!
The FOOD PANTRY is open two times weekly, January through December. Canned goods, bakery items, sundries, meats, and other staples are often available through the pantry. We realize that every want may not be met. But the FOOD PANTRY attempts to be a transitional help and temporary assistance to those for whom the FOOD PANTRY plays an important part in meeting their nutritional needs.
Hours of Operation
Thursday Mornings 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.

Our COATS OF CARING program provides warm outerwear such as coats, jackets, windbreakers, scarves, mittens, etc. These like-new items are donated by local individuals and businesses. Individuals are invited to come and see if there is a size that fits and a style they like. All items are provided without cost to the recipient.

We are grateful for the community support and to those who partner with us in this ministry.
Another program begun this year is our TELEPHONE CARE program. The design of the program is to provide a daily contact for those who find it comforting to know that once in the morning Monday through Friday an individual from the church will call to check and see that things are okay and the day has started.
It is a kind of “friendly safety net” that many find helpful. Whether for an aging parent, a home alone elder, a shut-in or any other need, TELEPHONE CARE provides comfort and assurance knowing that someone is calling to be sure you are okay. This program is provided all year long.
If you are interested in having TELEPHONE CARE for yourself or someone you love call 679-5542 and leave your name and telephone number where we may call you and talk further. There is no cost or fee associated with this program.
FRIDAY NIGHT PIZZA has resumed from 5 to 7 pm. Many in our community enjoy pizza and knowing that they are helping us achieve our goal raising $500,000 toward our building program. We are in need of additional space for ministries and other needed programming. Thank you all for supporting Friday Night Pizza.
