Who does what?

One of the exciting things about Five Loaf House is that it is intended to bring together people and resources from all over our community in the name of serving others to the glory of God. However, we realize that Five Loaf House represents some unique collaborations, and it's easy to get confused about how all these organizations relate. Here's a chart we've put together to help clarify things:

The Five Loaf House building is owned and operated by Pocono Lake Wesleyan Church. Monroe County Habitat for Humanity is generously acting as our contractor by organizing volunteers and making plans for our ongoing renovations. The Top of the Mountain Ecumenical Food Pantry stores and distributes food from Five Loaf House, but is a separate organization. The Food Pantry is administrated by the Top of the Mountain Ecumenical Council, which is a council of six local churches (Blakeslee United Methodist, Faith Lutheran, Pocono Lake United Methodist, Pocono Lake Wesleyan, St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church, and Salem United Church of Christ).

Please keep this information in mind when making a donation. If you intend to support the work of the food pantry, please make your check out to "TOMEC Food Pantry." If you intend to support the construction and operation of Five Loaf House, please make your check out to "Pocono Lake Wesleyan Church" and designate that it is for Five Loaf House on the memo line. Five Loaf House cannot use food pantry funds, and vice versa.

Pocono Lake Wesleyan Church is proud to partner with each of these churches and organizations in our mutual call to love our neighbors, and we're grateful for the many ways they've supported the work at Five Loaf House.
