Pantry & Family Resources

When neighbors come to the pantry, we want them to find more than food—we want them to experience love, dignity, and hope. Life can feel heavy and lonely, but here no one walks alone. God has provided abundantly, allowing us to meet needs and remind each person of this truth: they are loved beyond measure.

Food Pantry

Our staff and volunteers don’t just hand out food—we walk alongside neighbors as they shop through our pantry, which is thoughtfully set up much like a grocery store. The pantry is open two days a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays, for members of the Pullman community. On Wednesday afternoons, we also host an outdoor pantry that’s open to everyone.

Pantry Hours

  • Monday and Wednesday | 11am-2pm
  • Also open by appointment

Program Impact

54% of families in Lee Township live below the poverty line or are considered part of the ALICE population, meaning that an unexpected expense may mean choosing between filling a prescription or fixing their car. To help families stretch their income, People Helping People built a new food pantry and resource center that opened in May of 2023.

  • 348 winter coats distributed to the community
  • 429 local families & 253 migrant families assisted w/food/personal hygiene
  • 20 families provided with baby/diaper support
  • 68 families (100 adults & 176 children) adopted for Christmas “Adopt-a-Family”
  • 146 families (458 children) supported through Toys for Tots partnership
  • 90 seniors received Christmas meals
  • 295 community members received Thanksgiving dinners
