Five Loaves Food Pantry

We are a sustaining food pantry and as such see many families at least once a week; those with a more desperate need, i.e. homeless, we might see almost daily. Since we relocated to Olivet Christian Church in the Denbigh area of Newport News, we have increased the number of families we serve by 30%.

We are open Monday through Friday for Perishable Food Distribution from 11am until 1pm.  On Tuesday evening, from 5:30pm to 7pm, we distribute shelf stable groceries (for three meals) and meat.  We receive food from Trader Joes, Food Lion, WaWa and Fort Eustis Commissary.  We also partner with Panera, for additional food products.  In addition to our food distribution progrms, we also team up with Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and the home schooled for educational and hands on instruction regarding hunger, homelessness and food safety.

Five Loaves Food Pantry exists to serve the Hungry of the Virginia Peninsula.  We accept people from all over the Peninsula and only ask that you be hungry in order to receive food.  We have served people from Gloucester to Smithfield, but over 85% of the people we serve come from Newport News.
