University Baptist Church -Good Samaritan – Food Pantry

The Good Samaritan Food Pantry, operated by Good Samaritan Ministries and located at University Baptist Church (700 S.

The pantry provides canned goods and perishables to people in need, with support from area churches and civic organizations that provide food and supplement federal commodities, serving thousands of households annually. Operating on Mondays and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., the pantry is open to anyone and also offers a clothing closet, making it an integral part of Good Samaritan Ministries’ broader mission to provide shelter, food, counseling, and advocacy to those experiencing homelessness or crisis.
