BVCC donations infuse local food pantries
“Infuse” implies a pouring in of something that gives new life or significance, according to Merriam-webster.
The Bella Vista Community Church’s First Fruits outreach ministry has been infusing established efforts to help those in need by providing funds to support local food pantries including The Shepherd’s Food Pantry at Bella Vista Lutheran Church and the Oasis Food Pantry at Village Bible Church.
Throughout the year, BVCC members find it in their hearts and pockets to donate money to the First Fruits mission.
When asked if the church hosts any fundraisers to support the food pantry outreach ministry, member Donny Black answered, “No we do not do any fundraisers! We use generous donations from our congregation.”
Recently, BVCC made two donations of $1,000 apiece to the food pantries.

The church website, bvcc. net, describes BVCC as an interdenominational, evangelical, Christian church “whose purpose is loving God, loving people and making disciples of Jesus in Bella Vista and beyond.”
