Description:
The Food Pantry is a mini-grocery store that provides a four-day supply of food to carefully screened applicants. Volunteers from local congregations staff the pantry from 9am to 11am, Monday through Friday. The pantry is stocked through generous donations from individual and business as well as through our partnership with the Mississippi Food Network. Over a hundred thousand cans of food are donated each year. Occasionally items such as sugar, canned fruit, cereal, and peanut butter, which are in constant demand, must occasionally be purchased by Stewpot. Approximately 1,000 individuals benefit from Stewpot’s Food Pantry each month. During the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons, special baskets with turkeys, hams, and other holiday food items are prepared for over 600 families. Community Kitchen: The very heart of Stewpot is the noon meal search by staff and volunteers 365 days a year. This meal serves as the center of each day as well as the heart of the Stewpot philosophy. Rich and poor, black and white, all of God’s children come together over a nourishing meal. More than 120 people a day are physically and spiritually fed in the Community Kitchen and 50 plus meals are delivered to shut-ins in the area. Anyone is welcome to eat the Stewpot noon meal – no questions asked. More than 7,000 volunteers serve in the Community Kitchen each year
