The urgent need

We've outgrown every inch of borrowed space.

Since 2009, The Pantry at Hamilton Mill grew from serving 25 families a month to more than 800 families every single Saturday. That growth happened inside a space we don't own, can't expand, and can no longer safely or efficiently operate within.

  • Weekly service grew from 616 families (Q1 2025) to over 800 families by year's end.
  • Refrigerators and shelving now crowd a church basement never designed for a food pantry of this scale.
  • A signed 99-year land lease with Hamilton Mill UMC gives us a permanent home. Construction starts when we raise the final dollars.
  • Without this building, we cannot meet the demand we already face, let alone the demand still coming.

What the new building delivers

8,400 sq. ft. warehouse

Commercial freezers, refrigerators, conveyor systems, and dedicated packing areas.

Covered drive-through distribution

Safe, efficient service in every season. Double-lane entry, completely separate from the church.

Double, then triple, our capacity

Serve far more families without stretching volunteers beyond limits.

Classroom and training space

Job training, financial literacy, and wraparound services, all under one roof.

Weekday distribution hours

Working families no longer choose between their job and their groceries.

Who we serve

Hunger looks like your neighbor.

Every week, over 800 Gwinnett County families face an impossible choice: food, rent, or healthcare. These are the people who make that choice easier.

Betty is a government employee and single mother of two. She lost her husband, works full-time, and pays her bills. But rising costs mean that nutritious food for her children is no longer guaranteed. She shouldn't have to choose.

Russ served 23 years in the United States Army. Transitioning to civilian life proved harder than any deployment. Some days, he goes without a proper meal. He earned a table. We want to make sure he always has one.

We serve anyone who says they need help. No eligibility check. No judgment. Just food, dignity, and a community that shows up.

Our promise since 2009
