In Partnership With Friends
Martha’s Pantry has formed a partnership with the Metropolitan Community Church of the Gentle Shepherd and Vancouver United Church of Christ who all share space within the UCC building.
Some of our partners
Martha’s Pantry, Michele’s Closet, and MCC share space on the lower level, and the UCC is on the upper level. We all work together in community and partnership to assist our friends in the greater community.
