Our food pantry located near  Hanover Courthouse opened in 2019 and provides enough groceries to prepare nine meals to 350-500+ neighbors each week. Our pantry also provides groceries to our neighbors via our Mobile Pantry at our Saturday Servings events. It also regularly supports 19 area food ministries and pantries with surplus bulk food we receive free from the food bank and other free sources. The majority of the food we receive comes from Feed More, our generous food bank partner. 

Our weekly Saturday Servings community outreach events provide warm meals, a mobile pantry, health screenings, bike shop, clothing ministry, fellowship and prayer

2025 will be our 9th year operating our non-congregate Emergency Shelter Program utilizing private motel rooms to provide brief shelter to our homeless neighbors. We provide brief Emergency motel stays for those suddenly experiencing homelessness, and for our chronically homeless neighbors at risk during dangerous weather.  We host “Room in the Inn” each year at Christmas to provide two nights in a motel, meals, and more for unsheltered neighbors, because no one should spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Night outside.
