We made our food pantry a drive-thru only operation for the safety of guests and staff.
Give a can, or give a coin?
If Betty Jo had to pay what you pay at your favorite grocery store for the groceries we have distributed so far this year, it would cost us over $535,000. Praise God, we don’t have to pay that! Betty Jo has negotiated deep discounts only a family member could get with a couple of large grocery stores. It is through Feed More and the local stores that we get most of the food we distribute, and your generous monetary support makes these purchases possible. Thank you!
The food drives your family, churches, businesses and neighborhoods have hosted play a big part as well, and we need more of them. Thank you! As much as we truly appreciate and still depend upon your donations of canned and boxed goods, we discourage purchasing most food items on our behalf. As a partner agency, food items that are not already free to us through Feed More, can often be purchased through them in bulk for as little as the cost of a single item you might purchase at a local grocery store, and it is delivered on pallets to our pantry. The canned tuna with a pop top that is popular with our homeless friends costs you $0.68 to $1.29 per can. At $0.68 for a case of 24 cans, Betty Jo ordered as many as they would send! One can vs. one case of the same tuna for $0.68. We still need the tuna and lots of other items, but if you are planning to purchase them for us, we can increase the impact of your precious dollars exponentially if you will send us the funds instead. Regardless of how you support this ministry, thank you! Please don’t stop!
We accept the following items at our pantry ONLY by appointment.

Pantry Report 7/22/2023
Our 131 families (383 people) were the recipients of fresh veggies from several local farmers…thank you! 4 new families came today and were thankful for the food provided to them from Moments of Hope. Most families received anywhere from 5-8 meats, desserts, eggs, oatmeal, pasta, spaghetti sauce, bread, strawberries, and various fruits and vegetables. WJ was happy to get running water for his home. He and his wife had been without it for over a year. We extend our deepest sympathy to CM on the recent death of her sister. Continue to lift DA in prayer as he was moved to a rehab facility to learn how to walk again. We give a big thank you to SC for her routine donations. Thank you to all who donate their time, monetary donations, food donations and especially your prayers. The numbers keep growing.

We could not be more proud of our amazing pantry volunteers! They put their heart and soul into making our pantry guests feel loved and valued, and Hanover County acknowledged their efforts during their Spirit of Volunteerism Award celebration by presenting them with the Spirit of Team Award. Though the award says "team", they've truly become a family. We are truly grateful for the time and resources each our pantry volunteers contributes to our Mo Hope Pantry!
