Serving over 350 families each month!

In 2011 the pantry assisted almost 10,000 individuals with supplemental groceries!  We averaged 285 families each month but peaked at over 350 during a couple of months.  This represents and increase of about 100 families more each month than in 2010.

The pantry is always in need of food and monetary donations.  If you would like to help, a list of current items needed is posted on this site. 

Check donations are also accepted and much appreciated.  Please make your check payable to:
NLPC/Christian Food Pantry.  Checks may be mailed to the address listed above.

May God Bless You and Yours!

Sweetbay Comes Through Again for Christian Food Pantry

On Wednesday, January 11th, 2012 the Christian Food Pantry was blessed with a major donation from local Sweetbay Supermarket! Staff and customers of the Sweetbay Supermarket in The Villages, FL provided 1818 Box Out Hunger packages filled with non-perishable food items including Chicken Noodle Soup, Peanut Butter, Cereal, Sauce, Mac & Cheese, Rice, Oatmeal and other items valued at $10 per box. The food boxes will be distributed by the Christian Food Pantry in Lady Lake to local area clients. The pantry provides about 350 families supplemental groceries each month. Thank you Sweetbay!
