About

Who We Are

Hope Street Food Pantry exists to remove barriers to food access and ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. Founded in 2018 in response to a growing need in the 28269 zip code, we started as a small pantry in a house, serving just four families on our first night. Today, we have grown into a vital resource, providing fresh, nutritious food to thousands of individuals and families facing food insecurity.

We believe that everyone deserves access to food with dignity and respect. That’s why we welcome all who come through our doors with open arms, offering support without judgment. Through partnerships, volunteers, and generous donors, we continue to expand our reach—because no one should have to choose between paying bills and putting food on the table.

Our Mission

At Hope Street Food Pantry, our mission is simple but powerful: to remove barriers so no one goes hungry.

We believe access to food is a basic human right, and we’re committed to providing a 3+ day supply of groceries each week—including fresh produce, meat, and pantry staples—to anyone in need. But it’s not just about the food. It’s about creating a welcoming, judgment-free space where every person feels seen, heard, and supported.

By offering resources, compassion, and consistent care, we aim to break down the obstacles that prevent individuals and families from living healthy, independent lives. Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected community—one where no one is left behind.

Volunteer with Hope Street

Volunteers are a critical component to our success. We rely on volunteers each week to help us unload food, process inventory, stock the shelves and help during pantry hours. We have volunteer opportunities for all ages and abilities. It is our belief that providing everyone with the opportunity to help others provides an enormous amount of growth and understanding of how even one person can make a big difference in the lives of others.
