The Pantry at Hamilton Mill
The Pantry seeks to support a significantly increasing population of food-insecure individuals by providing nutritionally balanced boxes of food that are handed out to patrons each Saturday morning.
The Pantry is operated by hundreds of volunteers throughout the week and during Saturday morning distributions. Since 2009, The Pantry has rapidly grown from feeding 25 families a month to feeding well over 2,500 a month.
In 2022, The Pantry distributed 28,000 boxes of food to more than 75,000 individuals, including 22,000 children.
The Pantry is open every Saturday from 7:30am to 10:30 am and gives out over 35,000 pounds of food and feeding an average of 700 families each week. There are no eligibility requirements for patrons to receive food, all are welcome. The Pantry relies 100% on the generosity of volunteers and donors to support ongoing operations.
