FOOD PANTRY INFORMATION

 Our Food Pantry ensures the health, safety, and food security of our communities. PIM offers three types of food distributions, each requiring a completed application and the intake process is available on a walk-in basis.

The types of food distributions are:

 Food Pantry Distribution – There are no income requirements. Food boxes are available to any family in need of fresh, free food.

 The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) – Recipients must meet the income guidelines of the North Carolina poverty level and must be eligible to receive or already receive Food Stamps.

 Senior Commodity Box – Recipients must be 65 years or older, or receive a disability check; income must be verified.

The Resource and Referral Center’s Food Pantry provides food distribution to area churches. 

The churches pick up food and in turn distribute to their church community members.

A church name is designated for each section.

Partners In Ministry (PIM) continues to serve the community by giving food boxes to churches so the churches can serve the community members.  COVID-19 and the ‘stay at home’ orders have placed limitations on some people whereby they cannot go to the grocery store.  Many churches are served through PIM’s Resource and Referral Center Food Pantry Food Distribution Ministry.
