What We Do

The WUMC Food Pantry meets a critical need nourishing our local families.

What we do: We provide weekly food absolutely free to those in need. Dry goods, fresh meats, produce, dairy, and other items come to us from multiple partners. The food pantry is open for two distribution days a week. We facilitate a clean, organized, and dignified shopping experience.

Who we are: The food pantry is powered by volunteers from students to seniors giving generously of themselves. We are joyful about doing good work. We believe in welcoming and serving all people.

What we need: We need trucks for transporting donations, strength to lift boxes, hands to stock and organize shelves, basic computer skills for the laptop, smiles and the desire to meet others where they are at and accompany them while they gather the things they need to make it through the week. Come join us!
