Our Food Pantry
The Mission operates the largest food pantry in Tioga County and is the umbrella organization for eleven other pantries in our county. These pantries include the Apalachin Food Pantry, Berkshire Helping Hands Pantry, Project Neighbor in Newark Valley, Lounsberry Food Pantry, Spencer Community Cupboard, Bread of Life in Candor, Tioga County Rural Ministry, the Valley Pantry in Waverly and Waverly CHOW for Children. Since Richford has no established pantry the Mission helps with a monthly food give away.
The Mission also helps a number of local church soup kitchens such as Kindness Counts, the ACT Kitchen, the Owego Presbyterian Church, and the Waverly Methodist Church. We truly believe that the best way we can serve our community is by not only serving our clients but also by acting as a community partner with other pantries and organizations.How It Works!
Our clients are welcome to come every 30 days for a visit through the pantry, and anyone is welcome to get free bread every day. For clients, such as seniors, that are unable to leave their homes, we make food deliveries. When you arrive stay in your car and beep once, a volunteer will bring the food out to your car.
