The Pantry is open most Saturdays from 8:30-11:30 am.
The Pantry is closed on the following 2025 dates: ( March 1, March 22, April 5, April 19, May 3, May 17, May 31)
For people in need of pantry items:
We are open on most Saturday mornings from 8:30-11:30AM to provide grocery items. There is an intake process–please arrive with identification and proof of income (paystub, for instance).
Volunteer Training:
We are always adding new volunteers into our rotation. We train new volunteers on the first Friday of every month beginning at 8:30 AM.
We need volunteers to:
- drive their personal vehicles (trucks, large SUVs) to the Daytona area on Thursdays to pick up fresh food.
- sort and organize pantry items on Thursdays upon return from Daytona
- Prepare and pack the week’s grocery bags on Friday mornings
- greet and assist pantry patrons with paperwork on Saturday mornings
- Pack and distribute bags on Saturday mornings

Donations
We accept donations of unexpired, unopened foods directly at the pantry (in the back of the church parking lot) on Fridays between 8:30-10:30 AM.
Please note: Because of our community partnerships, we can stretch a dollar quite far! Monetary gifts are preferred so that we can purchase (for greatly reduced prices) the items that our pantry guests need the most.
Adopt a Family!
Would you consider donating $10 a week so that we might feed a family of 4? Your donation will go directly to providing 2-3 whole meals for a family.
