about The pantry
Founded in 2016, the food pantry is located at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Woodstock, Virginia, and serves Shenandoah County and surrounding areas.
We’re a need-based pantry, only asking that you truly be in need and provide basic information. That way, we can best serve the community and continue our association with the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank.
Many people we serve are grandparents caring for grandchildren. Others are single parents, elderly couples, or families with young children. Many have disabilities or care for someone who does. Each pantry day, about 30 families (60+ people) are served. This number has continued to grow over the years.
How to help
The pantry is run entirely through church support, volunteers and generous donations.
Monetary donations are the most helpful since our best source for food is the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. We’re able to make each dollar stretch to its fullest since everything they offer is far less expensive than big box retail — often only a few cents a case. You can donate via a check made out to Emmanuel Church (and note that it is for the food pantry) and send it to Emmanuel Episcopal Church 122 E. Court St. Woodstock, VA 22664.
However, if you have non-perishable food items to donate, you can drop them off during pantry hours.
We can always use volunteers! All volunteers are welcome, whether they are a family looking to give back, a student looking for community service hours, or a community member looking to help. If you are interested in volunteering, volunteers arrive on Tuesdays of food pantry days around 9:30 a.m. Come and join us!
