Common Ground Ministries Food Pantry is a nonprofit food pantry serving low-income families in Monroe and Luzerne counties in northeastern Pennsylvania. Founded in 2004 by Pastors Everett and Sherry Upton, the organization operates with the motto "Everybody Eats" and provides food distribution through both curbside pickup and direct delivery, along with emergency food assistance. The pantry also operates a community garden called the "Garden of Eating" to supplement fresh produce offerings and recovers approximately 100,000 pounds of food annually from local grocery stores and farms.
