Mission

The Pantry seeks to offer the Bread of Life to our community by providing quality food and building quality relationships rooted in the love ofJesus.

The Pantry relies 100% on the generosity of volunteers and donors to support ongoing operations.

The Pantry at Hamilton Mill distributes more than one million pounds of quality food each year to local families. The Pantry is open every Saturday from 7:30am to 10:30 am and distributes over 25,000 pounds of food and feeds an average of 700 families each week. There are no eligibility requirements for patrons to receive food, all are welcome.
