Location Overview

“Serving Hope in the Heart of Brookside”

The food pantry at Brookside Community Church, operated by Brookside Community Development Corporation, is located in the basement of Brookside Community Church. The entrance is at the back of the building and can be accessed through the alley. The door is clearly marked, and signs will be posted to guide you directly to the pantry.At this time, the pantry is only accessible by stairs, and we do not yet have a lift chair available for individuals who use wheelchairs or have difficulty with stairs.Please know that no one will be turned away. If you are disabled or unable to enter the pantry space, our team will gladly assist you. We will help with registration, take note of your food preferences, and bring items to you so that you can receive the same support as anyone else without needing to physically come inside the pantry.We are committed to serving everyone in our community and are exploring ways to improve accessibility in the future.

 

Notice of Change

Beginning November 1st, 2025 the Brookside Community Church Food Pantry will be serving the first 40 people in line each Wednesday.

This change is necessary to ensure that we can provide quality service and adequate food to those we serve.

We truly appreciate your understanding, patience, and continued support as we work to meet the growing needs of our community.

With gratitude,

Brookside Community Church Food Pantry Team
