Food Distribution
Zion Tabernacle Food Pantry operates every Tuesday from 1PM to 4PM, following a Week A/B schedule. Each week, a team of dedicated volunteers and staff prepares and organizes healthy food for local families.
Everyone will be given a time slot to arrive at and receive their food. To ensure everything runs smoothly, please do not arrive before your time slot, as it is unfair to everyone else.
Whether it's your first time or you're a returning guest, all are welcome. New visitors can receive food during any week; just bring the necessary information and we'll take care of the rest.
Bookbags & School Supplies
We support students in need by donating bookbags and essential school supplies.
This directly helps the families and ensures that students have everything they need to succeed in their academic lives.
Feminine & Baby Products
The food pantry also supports parents and women in need by providing feminine products, baby food, and diapers. We understand that these products are essential, and that giving them out to people benefits everyone.
Clothing
The food pantry supports the community by holding clothing drives to hand out seasonal clothes to people and kids who are in need of proper attire. It's worth checking out if you're missing clothes for the right season.
Memories
During the COVID pandemic, we continued to support the community by adapting our services to match. We ensured that our food was always healthy and ready for handout, and that everyone wears a mask and gloves to protect the food.
🎒 5th Annual Back-to-School Backpack Give-Away
The Zion Tabernacle Food Pantry is excited to host our 5th Annual Back-to-School Backpack Give-Away on Saturday, August 15, 2026, to help students in our community start the new school year prepared and confident.
Each registered student will receive a backpack and essential school supplies while supplies last. Families will also have access to community resources, and free haircuts will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
This annual event is made possible through the generosity of our donors, volunteers, and community partners. Together, we are helping ease the financial burden on families while giving students the tools they need for a successful school year.
Registration is required, and the student must be present to receive a backpack.
