Northern Hills UMC operates an emergency food pantry, at the Ministry Center, which is open Tuesday - Thursday from 9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. and is by appointment only. Our food pantry serves people that live in nine different zip codes around our church and Ministry Center. Recipients can visit the pantry and typically receive 4 to 6 bags of food. The pantry provides food staples such as rice, beans, macaroni and cheese, tuna, juice, peanut butter and jelly, canned and frozen vegetables, canned fruit, cereal, soup, spaghetti and spaghetti sauce, crackers, sugar and meat and fresh produce when available.
The Northern Hills food pantry is operated in conjunction with the San Antonio Food Bank from which the majority of our food inventory is purchased at a minimal cost. The SAFB calculates our food purchases in pounds.
The pantry is also supported by donations from our congregation and several Sunday School classes. Fishes & Loaves food drives are conducted regularly throughout the year.
The NHUMC Food Pantry serves an average of 150 families a month or approximately 600 individual family members.
