Our primary ministry is operating a Food Pantry located at 8823 Dayton Avenue, North Beach, MD 20714.
We are supported by approximately 40 dedicated volunteers, including a Pantry Manager, who donated more than 19,700 hours in 2025. The Pantry primarily serves Northern Calvert County, with about two-thirds of clients living in North Beach or Chesapeake Beach. We are part of the End Hunger in Calvert County food pantry network.
Each pantry opening offers a nutritious selection of perishable and nonperishable foods, including fresh produce, bread, meat, canned meals, vegetables, and fruit. We also provide Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter meal groceries, supplying everything needed for a complete holiday meal.
Once a month, we host an on-site Mini Market for residents of the North Beach senior apartments, bringing groceries directly to the community and allowing clients to select their items.
New Clients
If you are new to our pantry, we will ask for an ID to register you as a client. We collect basic family and contact information to ensure your household receives the appropriate amount of food and can participate in related ministries such as school supplies and Christmas gifts for children.
Your personal information is never shared. Anonymous summary data may be used for grant reporting. Income is not used for eligibility—if you need food, we provide food.
New client registration forms are available in Word and PDF formats. Please complete the form and bring it with you if possible.
