Our on-site food pantry serves the working poor in our community by allowing their income to stretch a little further during times of financial crisis. Neighbors should never be forced to choose between making a rent or mortgage payment and feeding their families. As with each of our service offerings, our pantry provides a helping hand, not a handout. Neighbors can choose from a large selection of items that are set up in a grocery store environment. A volunteer accompanies them through the shopping experience, helping them make decisions and demonstrating the love of Jesus.
The generous contributions of local businesses and churches along with individual donations keep our community food pantry supplied and ready to provide for neighbors in need.
Please deliver to Mercy’s Gate at 4360 Montebello Drive, Suite 300, Colorado Springs, CO 80918.
