Our mission is to provide food to people in the South Hills requiring the services of a food pantry but who have limited mobility or are without transportation. We deliver right to the door! Sponsored by Southminster Presbyterian Church and St. Paul's Episcopal Church, the Food Pantry is completely staffed and run by volunteers. It is fully supported by donations of food and monetary gifts from our congregation and from a variety of community organizations. Among those who have supported the Food Pantry are Dormont AARP, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Mt. Lebanon United Presbyterian Church, Mt. Lebanon Newcomers Club, South Fayette Middle School, Keystone Oaks, and the Boy Scouts.

Groceries are generally delivered once every six weeks, except in the case of an emergency request. In addition to food staples, each delivery normally includes paper products as well as some fresh and perishable foods.
