Food Pantry and Services
As a trusted resource in Jacksonville, our Food Pantry is known for its welcoming atmosphere, reliability, and compassionate service. Through our biweekly walk-up food distribution events, community members receive grocery bags filled with nutritious staples to help sustain their households. In addition, we prepare and distribute hot and cold meals to those who may not have access to cooking facilities or need immediate nourishment.
Recognizing the importance of supporting children, especially during the summer when school meals are unavailable, we provide kid-friendly snack packs to help bridge the gap. During the holiday season, we also share the spirit of giving by offering Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets, ensuring families can gather and celebrate with a warm, festive meal.
Together, through consistency, care, and community collaboration, we are working to make sure no one in Jacksonville goes hungry—and that every family feels supported, respected, and nourished.
Clothing and more Giveaway
Clothing is a basic human need—and everyone deserves the dignity of having clean, comfortable, and weather-appropriate attire. For individuals and families facing financial challenges, purchasing new clothes can be a significant burden. That’s why our Clothing & More Giveaway is here to help. We provide a wide selection of clothing for men, women, and children of all ages and sizes—ensuring that everyone can find something that fits their needs with confidence and pride.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we’re able to offer not just clothing, but also shoes and other essential items that can truly make a difference in someone’s daily life. Every item we distribute is carefully pre-cleaned, sorted, and organized by our dedicated volunteers to ensure quality and respect for those we serve. Whether someone needs a warm coat for winter, everyday essentials, or a fresh start, our giveaway is here to provide comfort, support, and a renewed sense of hope to members of our community.
