Church Women United Food Pantry

Locally located at the intersection of 14th and Tippecanoe Streets

Founded in 1941, Church Women United (CWU) is a national volunteer Christian ecumenical women’s movement initiated and carried out by women in the United States and Puerto Rico. It is a movement that brings together women of diverse races, cultures and traditions in closer Christian fellowship, prayer, advocacy, and action for peace with justice in the world. CWU engages millions of women representing twenty-six supporting denominations and participating Christian women.

The local group operates a food pantry in their building at 1320 Tippecanoe a Street, located at the intersection of 14th and Tippecanoe Streets in Lafayette, across the street from St. Elizabeth Hospital. The pantry is open Tues, Wed, and Fri. to the public from 12:00 pm to 2:30 and on Thur from 400pm to 6:00pm. 

Volunteers from our church work there in April, July and November.  See Esther Miller to volunteer.
