KUMC Food Pantry

Powered by Google TranslateTranslate

The Food Pantry collects and distributes food bags to those in our area who are food insecure. The pantry, a joint mission project supported by the Knightdale Alliance of Churches, is housed at Knightdale UMC. Unlike other area food banks, we operate on an honor system – no paperwork is required to demonstrate proof of need.

Food Distribution: Mondays, 9:30 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. (or until all bags are distributed)
Location: 7071 Forestville Rd. in the Kitchen (located in the north end of the building behind the Worship Room)

Did you know...

  • More than 9% of the population of East Wake County lives at or below the poverty line?
  • Over 31% of children in East Wake County live in poverty?
  • Our Food Pantry serves about 60 families per week?
  • We also partnered with local schools to provide food for about 40 children on weekends?

Wondering how can you help?

  • Donate – food or funds are always needed
  • Organize a food drive at your office or in your neighborhood
  • Solicit businesses or neighborhoods to conduct food drives
  • Volunteer – helpers are needed to shop for food, stock the shelves, and create and distribute bags
  • Pray – we covet your prayers for the continued success of this important mission

Knightdale Alliance of Churches “Food For Thought” Project:

Donate food for the “backpack” bags provided for children in need through our local schools who may not receive food on weekends otherwise. Items needed for “backpack” bags:
  • Peanut Butter
  • Macaroni & Cheese
  • Individual Fruit or Applesauce cups
  • Saltine Crackers
  • Individual packs of Instant Oatmeal
  • Ramen Noodles
