"FOR I WAS HUNGRY AND YOU GAVE ME FOOD..." (MATT. 25:35)

Red Door Food pantry

Hunger Ministries provides The Red Door Food Pantry twice a week and a community meal once a month. We also serve a special community meal on Christmas Day.

The Red Door Food Pantry is located at Fountain House (38 N. Fountain Street), and is open Mondays from 10 – 11:30 AM, and on Thursdays from 10 – 11:30 AM. We are a small pantry that serves our neighbors and community in need. We are supplied through donations, the annual Scouting for Food drive, and the SEMO Food Bank. Neighbors utilizing our pantry will receive a box based on the size of their household with non-perishable items to make several meals, as well as frozen meat when available and fresh produce when community members share their gardens' bounty. If you are interested in volunteering for the pantry, contact Cheryl Essner.
