About the Pantry . . .
The Neighbor to Neighbor Food Pantry is a non-profit ministry of Good Samaritan Community Covenant Church. We have been an established food pantry since 2003. Our continuing goal is to help provide emergency food, clothing, hope and encouragement to the hungry and disadvantaged of Calaveras and surrounding counties. From the beginning, our food pantry's philosophy has been based upon a no limitations or exclusions policy. Our patrons are encouraged to utilize our services as often as needed. We are open every Saturday from 9:00 - 11:00 AM for food distribution. Along with our weekly food distribution, we also provide a once a month clothing closet. Our "Clothed in Love" ministry provides new or gently used clothing, coats, shoes and blankets to needy families free of charge. Additionally, our program provides food baskets at Thanksgiving time and gifts to needy children at Christmas.
How can you help?
Donate Time - Donating your time to help assemble and distribute food bags is a valuable way in which you can help. Donating a few hours a month will provide you with the rewarding opportunity to help people in our community. Few other experiences leave you with the tremendous sense of fulfillment and gratitude that volunteering brings.
Donate $$$ - Your financial gift in any amount will go directly to purchasing food for area families. This helps ensure that all who seek assistance will be provided with an emergency 3-day supply of food. All donations are completely tax deductible.
Donate Food - Our "Food of the Month" program is designed to target specific foods. Donations can be dropped off at the pantry on Saturday mornings from 9:00 - 11:00 am.
"He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness." 2 Corinthians 9:10
