Seeds of Hope
Community Food Pantry
Ministry Info
KAY NEGLEY | Food Pantry Director
Often we take for granted the opportunity to provide food for our families, but for many living here in our community that’s not the case. Operating since 2008, Seeds of Hope partners with Philabundance, local grocers, and our amazing volunteers to serve hundreds of families with food each month.
Although “food” may seem to be the big picture, we recognize a greater need—for people to share life together. At Seeds of Hope we want to saturate our community with our resources, our time, our energy, and our compassion. Most importantly, we want to plant seeds of hope into the hearts of the people we serve.
Food Distribution
CURRENT HOURS
Tuesdays and Fridays, 10am-12:30pm
We’re following a schedule of visiting the pantry every other week dependent on your last name. New registrations are welcome. You may drive up to our pantry entrance and receive pre-packed food items including produce, bakery and meat. We ask that you please remain in your vehicle.
Important Change!
As of July 11, 2023 we have returned to indoor food distribution. Our hours remain the same. Please bring reusable shopping bags, your pantry card or current ID, park your car, and come inside to once again choose the food that your family enjoys.
