Grocery Assistance
We offer a Grocery Assistance Program (GAP)to help those in Guilford County having difficulty obtaining food.
GAP provides grocery assistance through three programs:
- Food Pantry – clients with transportation come on-site to pick up groceries. We provide enough food for 3-4 days.
- International Food Pantry- clients not yet documented as legal immigrants come on-site to pick up groceries.
- Delivery Program – volunteer drivers deliver a bag of groceries to shut-in clients once a month.
GAP serves between 500-700 people a month who are:
- low-income elderly and/or disabled
- in a short-term emergency situation
There is no charge for either the Food Pantry or the Delivery Program.
The new phone number for the pantry is: 370-1501
