Emergency Food Pantry

Our emergency food pantry opened in 2007, prompted by a need expressed by many of our guests for food to carry them through dinnertime.

At first the pantry was stocked solely with donated items, but as demand grew, we began purchasing food and turned it into an emergency food pantry. It is the only food pantry in Charleston that is open on weekends. You can purchase food from our Amazon wish list here and have it shipped directly to our pantry.

If you need pantry items, visit us at the Garnet Center:

422 Dickinson St, Charleston, WV 25301

Hours: 7am–1pm daily

Donations for our food pantry can be purchased directly from our Amazon wishlist or dropped off at our office space:

706 Central Ave, Charleston, WV 25302

Hours: 7am–1:30pm daily

  • Canned meat (spam, chicken, Vienna sausages, tuna, ham, sloppy joes)

    Cereal – any kind, bagged or box

    Peanut butter and jelly

    Canned soup

    Eggs

    Pasta and pasta sauce

    Macaroni and cheese

Mobile Food Pantry

If you aren’t able to access our emergency pantry on the East End, visiting Manna Meal’s mobile food pantry is another option.

Our monthly mobile food pantry typically sets up at the old Save A Lot parking lot on the West Side from 4:30pm–5:30pm on the third Thursday of every month.

Initiated in 2021 in response to a fire that closed the local Family Dollar, our mobile food pantry provides ongoing, critical relief to food insecure residents on Charleston's West Side.

Support our efforts to prevent hunger in our community.
