The Pantry: Meeting Families Where They Are
For many families across the D.C. metro area, putting food on the table isn’t simple, it’s a stressful, constant worry. For parents, it can mean wondering whether their child will go to bed hungry. For seniors or people living with disabilities, it can mean stretching already limited income to decide between paying rent or getting groceries.
That’s why The Pantry exists. And why your support matters.
Instead of asking neighbors to travel long distances, navigate limited transportation, or make impossible choices, we bring food directly into the communities where it’s needed most at pop up locations. When The Pantry arrives, neighbors eagerly line up for food and share how grateful they are for this resource.
Families leave with fresh produce, meat, bread, and ready-to-eat meals. For many households, this support is the difference between stretching an already tight budget and falling behind.
Each pop up location is selected with care and intention. We prioritize neighborhoods where families face the greatest barriers to accessing food, including limited transportation, fewer walkable grocery options, and lower household incomes.
With your support, seniors, families with young children, and people living with disabilities can access nutritious food.
And right now, you can help keep The Pantry stocked for the families who rely on it by making a gift.Your gift helps provide fresh food, staple items, and ready-to-eat meals for neighbors across our communities.
