What We Do

Pastor’s Pantry is a nonprofit food pantry serving senior adults (age 60-plus) in financial crisis in Davidson County, North Carolina. We give groceries to seniors in need once a month. Most seniors get 7-10 plastic grocery bags of food each month, or about the equivalent of $100 of groceries. Many of these seniors live with younger relatives in their households, so the number of people we serve is greater than the number of seniors who apply for help.

Pastor’s Pantry currently helps more than 500 individuals in nearly 400 households in Davidson County. The food is offered at no cost to anyone qualifying through an application process.

Where the Food Comes From

The groceries come from donations from individuals, groups, and organizations who host food drives for us, as well as from daily salvage contributions from Food Lion. The remainder are purchased from Second Harvest Food Bank in Winston-Salem, where $1 will buy $12 worth of food, and from Lexington grocer Conrad & Hinkle and other sources at the best prices we can find.

We are funded by United Way, churches, local businesses, other groups and organizations, individuals, grants, and fundraising activities.
