New Life Food Pantry

New Life Food Pantry The pantry is open to anyone in need by appointment only. Please contact us for an appointment. George's Church with 2 shelves of food.

In 2006, the New Life Food Pantry began in a closet in the basement of St. Each week 5-6 people would stop in and pick up a bag of emergency food that had been donated by the church parishioners. The New Life Food Pantry became a separate non-profit entity in 2016. The pantry has now expanded to serve an average of 80-90 families each week. Our dedicated staff of over 30 volunteers helps keep the

pantry operations running smoothly. Our pantry has developed far beyond food distribution. In addition to helping ANYONE IN NEED with perishable and non-perishable food, we provide personal care items, drinks, health and nutrition products and household products. We serve anyone in need regardless of their income level, residence, race or religion.

• 4,112 patrons served representing 12,294 household members
