Need Help With Food?

                                        Perhaps we can help.                                      

If you live in:
Lady Lake, Florida
The Villages, Florida
Summerfield or Weirsdale, Florida (up to CR 42)

We serve clients on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.  We don't take appointments.  Simply bring a photo ID and a current utility bill with you when you come to our pantry.   Plan on spending about 20 minutes with us to get signed up.  Once qualified you may come to our pantry on a temporary basis twice each month for supplemental groceries.             

If you donate to our pantry

 Thank you for your continued support of our pantry!  You have always been amazing with donations of food and money donations but since March of 2020 when the pandemic first began we have been overwhelmed with your generosity.   

 The first quarter of the year is normally a slower pace for our food pantry.  Many of our clients receive tax refunds and with stimulus checks and extra SNAP funds this has held true even during the current pandemic.  The number of new clients from January to March was only 24 families.  We assisted a total of 675 families during this time representing 1644 individuals.

  We continue to support The Villages Elementary School by supplying 111 students with weekend snack packs each week.  We will continue this support through the summer as well should the school offer a drive up lunch program as they did last summer.
