A Mobile Food Pantry is a great way to supplement your family’s nutritional needs. Through our partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina and sponsorships from local churches, businesses, and organizations, a truck full of food comes to distribution sites close to neighborhoods with high food insecurity. These are drive through events. No appointments or documentation are needed. Please come only during the stated hours.
You must be present to receive food. Limit one per household. This is a drive-thru event. Registration will begin about 1 hour before serving time, and will be done at your vehicle. Please do not arrive more than one hour before the stated time. Prepare to carry home several bags and/or boxes of free groceries!!!
At registration, we will ask the following:
Your name, address, phone #, number of people in your family, # of family members by age group, your household’s gross income
In case of bad weather, the mobile pantry will be canceled.
