First Baptist Church Of Pekin – Food Pantry

First Baptist Church of Pekin Food Pantry, located at 700 S Capitol Street in Pekin, Illinois, provides supplemental groceries and essential food assistance to individuals and families in need throughout the community. Originally started as an Eagle Scout project, the food pantry has grown into a major community resource that is completely volunteer-run, organizing donations from church members and local grocery stores. The pantry operates by appointment on Tuesday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m., serving anyone in need but primarily focusing on Pekin residents, and has assisted a record number of families in recent years through its dedicated community outreach efforts.
