Hours: Call for hours
The leadership at Snellville has kept the important Biblical charge of serving those in need at the forefront by having a Food Pantry available to our members and those in the community. As the economy is changing we are finding that there are not only greater needs in the community but also now among our brethren. The Food Pantry at Snellville is here to help those needing assistance with their basic needs of food. We have always been blessed to have members who also feel the need to purchase extra each week to donate to the Pantry so that our members and those in the community don’t go hungry. Members can contact the church office, or speak with any of the elders regarding their needs and arrange to meet one of our Pantry workers who will help them with their needs. At the present time we are blessed to be able to have our members come once a month if necessary. In an effort to serve those in the community equally we allow non-members to contact the church office with their needs and size of their family. Groceries are bagged and labeled for pickup on Thursdays. We follow the same guidelines for Pantry usage as others in the community, and will provide those who are not part of the Snellville family 2 visits a year. These requests will need to be scheduled through the church office.

Intown Collaborative Ministries helps prevent and reverse homelessness and hunger in Intown Atlanta by building a healthy community through caring relationships and transformed lives. We were born out of the work of ICA (Intown Community Assistance), which served the neighborhood for over three decades. Intown continues to prevent homelessness for low-income neighbors and provide long-term case management and accompaniment for people who are homeless.
Intown Food Pantry serves men, women, and children each Saturday of the year. Supporters of the pantry donate half of the food that is served. Intown Food Pantry provides free food to feed families and individuals in need. We supply groceries for residents that do not have enough food because they lack the resources to purchase it. Intown Collaborative Ministries currently partners in our vital work with local Jewish and Christian sponsoring congregations in the area.

Hours: Call for hours
The Purpose of Hands of Christ, a Duluth Cooperative Ministry, is to utilize the resources of the community as a Christian Cooperative to glorify God and demonstrate Christ's love by ministering to the material and spiritual needs of those in crisis. In October 1992, ministers and representatives from 10 churches in Duluth, Georgia met to pray, discuss and plan ways to meet a growing crisis in our community. From these meetings came the birth of the Hands of Christ ministry. Today, Hands of Christ is managed by a Director and staffed by volunteers. A Board comprised of more than 12 member volunteers of local partner churches oversees the ministry. The Duluth Cooperative Ministry is an ecumenical Christian, non-profit 501c(3), non-political organization providing aid for people in our community with urgent physical, economic, social and spiritual needs. A cooperative effort prevents duplication of services and provides a more efficient use of our resources.

You may be asked to provide:
- Your zip code, and
- Number of people in your household.
You usually do not need an appointment. Drive-thru pantries are generally first-come, first-served, so plan to arrive early because lines can fill quickly and popular items may run out.

Tips for Visiting a Food Pantry
Show up early.
This is very important. This means you will be first in line and have a chance to get the items that are sought after and in limited quantities such as fresh produce, dairy and frozen food.
You don't usually need to show up hours ahead of time but coming at least an hour before is usually a good idea.
Remember all documentation.
Some food pantries require documentation to prove who you are, and in some cases, where you live.
This is to make sure people are not coming more than they are allowed or using fake names to do so. Call ahead of time to find out what documentation is needed.
This is often a photo ID and a piece of mail that verifies your address.
Use several food banks.
Using more than one food bank (when available) is smart because you may be able to get something at one that you may not get at another.
For instance, one may have a deal with a local gardener that gives them their extras. This may mean this food bank has more produce.
Eligible for other programs?
Ask your Department of Social Services office if you are eligible for other assistance programs to supplement your household’s food supply.
They can easily tell you if you can apply for WIC (Women, Infants, and Children), USDA Commodities or SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits.
Ask about extras.
If you have special needs for infants or special diets, the pantries may be able to assist you.
Many times, they can help with diapers, baby formula, baby food, personal hygiene products, and even special diet items like gluten free or sugar free foods.
Go on different days of the week.
Depending on the food pantry, they may be open only one or two days a week or they may be open all seven days. When you have a choice, going midweek is often best as it is less crowded.
Be polite to workers.
Nearly everyone at a food bank is a volunteer. Be polite to the workers there as they often deal with highly emotional situations.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. What is the difference between a food bank and a food pantry?
Independent community food pantries are self-governing and usually distribute food to their clients on a once-a-month basis. A food bank is the storehouse for millions of pounds of food and other products that go out to the community. A food pantry functions as the arms that reach out to that community directly.
2. What kind of food is at a food pantry?
Food pantries typically provide shelf-stable items such as:
- Peanut butter
- Canned soup
- Canned fruit
- Canned vegetables
- Pasta
- Canned beans
- Canned stew
- Canned fish
3. Who can go to a food pantry?
Rules vary by food pantry. Many ask only that you say you need help, while others may ask for ID, proof of address, income information, or a referral. Call ahead to find out what to bring.
4. What is the difference between a food pantry and a soup kitchen?
A food pantry often provides food packages meant to last a few days to families that have a place to live, but not enough food. These packages are designed to provide nutritionally balanced meals. Soup kitchens serve individuals in need of a hot meal, the only meal of the day for many of them.
5. How does a food pantry work?
Food banks acquire large donations of food from the food industry and distribute it to organizations that feed hungry people. Those organizations then provide this food directly to families in need.
