Serving Our Community Together

The Forest Park Food Pantry provides free groceries and essential food items to individuals and families in our community. Rooted in Jesus’ prayer that His people would be one so the world might know His love (John 17:22–23), our desire is to partner with churches and organizations across Fort Wayne to reflect the love of Christ through compassionate, practical care. The pantry offers ongoing support and hope to our community through pantry distribution days that are open to the public, and our community pantry cabinet that is accessible 24/7, offering shelf-stable items in a “take what you need, leave what you don’t” format.

For Those in Need

If you or your family could use extra support, you are welcome here. The Forest Park Food Pantry is open to the public two days each month and offers free groceries in a welcoming environment. There are no neighborhood or income restrictions. Spanish interpreters are available on-site during distribution hours. In addition to our open distribution hours, our outdoor pantry cabinet is available 24/7, providing access to shelf-stable food whenever the need arises—day or night.

For Those Who Want to Serve

If you’re looking for a way to make a difference, we invite you to join us. Volunteers play a vital role in making the Forest Park Food Pantry possible. Our volunteer needs include stocking shelves, welcoming guests, translating for community members, caring for the outdoor pantry cabinet, picking up food goods throughout the week, and many other important roles. Serving together allows us to live out the love of Jesus and strengthen unity across Fort Wayne as we care for our neighbors. Please view and sign up for volunteer roles at the link below or contact our team to find out other ways you can serve.
