MZUM Food Pantry Logo

Our Food Pantry serves families and individuals who live within the Mt. Zion School District. This includes Mt. Zion, Long Creek, Dalton City, and some Decatur addresses in the Mt. Zion School District.

We are open the 3rd Thursday of each month from 5:00pm – 6:00pm and third Saturday from 9:00am – 11:00am every month.

Clients coming to receive groceries will need to check in at Jodi’s Place which shares the church parking lot, just west of the church. When clients check in, they will receive a number and be directed to a seating area until their number is called.
 
At registration we ask for proof of address, name and age of each individual/family member.
 
Each client must bring their own container (bag, box, basket, etc.) to hold and carry their groceries each time they visit.

Quantities will be limited to inventory on hand.

We know that when times are rough, we can help feed your family. All non-perishable food items are donated by the community through various food drives, church members and individuals. We appreciate your support!

It is our hope to fill people’s stomachs with nourishment as well as knowing that others thought of you in your time of need. God is Good All The Time!
