The Stewpot Food Pantry will be open on Thursday evenings during the months of June, July, and August from 4:00pm-7:00pm beginning on Thursday, June 8th. Stewpot is encouraging our friends in the media to help us spread the word to neighbors in our community who may benefit.
Scheduling an appointment to receive groceries is not required, but encouraged. To schedule an appointment, please call Stewpot at (601) 353-2759. To be eligible for groceries, you must live in Hinds County. We ask for an ID and proof of residence (a utility bill or copy of a lease) upon arrival, although no one is turned away.
The Food Pantry will remain open during our regular operating hours. Regular hours of operation are Monday-Thursday 9:00am-11:00am. On Tuesdays, the Pantry reopens from 1:00PM-3:00PM.
Stewpot is also seeking help with food to stock the pantry. Donations and food drives are welcomed and greatly appreciated. For a complete list of our food pantry needs, please visit stewpot.org/volunteer/need.
Volunteers are needed to assist shoppers, sort and stock donations, and organize food drives to fill the shelves. To schedule a time to volunteer, please contact Contyna McNealy, Director of Volunteer Services, at cmcnealy@stewpot.org or by calling (601) 353-2759.
