Light of Hope pantry is a lifeline for many people in our West Tampa community and surrounding neighborhoods who are struggling with food insufficiency, hunger, and financial hardships.
We serve families, seniors, and all types of people who come to us for food and hope.
Our food pantry is currently open once every other month, Saturday from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in our church hall.
Join us in July - Date TBD
Depending on our donations we may provide food that contains nutritious and non-perishable items that are essential such as canned goods, dry goods, and donations of bread or baked goods. We also offer prayer and suggestions of resources for those who are seeking hope and comfort.
Our food pantry relies on the generous donations of our church members, individuals and outside organizations. Without your help, we cannot continue this vital work of feeding the hungry and sharing the love of God. Your donation of any amount will make a huge difference in the lives of many people.
"For I was hungry, and you gave me food, I was thirsty, and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me" Matthew 25:35
We need your help.
