Aldersgate Outreach Community Center
AOCC is a primary mission of Aldersgate.  Our food pantry provides food to hundreds of families each month at our Ryders Lane location.

We also have a thrift shop which is open to the public and sells new and used clothing, toys and household items.  The proceeds from the thrift shop support the food pantry.
