Everyone is welcome here. The pantry serves the community regardless of background, age, ethnicity, or gender. No documents are checked and no registration is required. As the website says, "Your word is good enough here."
Visitors are treated with the same respect and dignity they'd receive at a local grocery store. The pantry is run by Father and Son Ministries, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Since June 2018, they've served over 5.5 million meals in Pasco County and surrounding areas. A warm, welcoming atmosphere with music, hugs, and smiles is part of the experience. The pantry also connects visitors with programs for housing, drug rehab, and community services for those who need extra help.
Visitors get to choose their own food items rather than receiving a pre-packed box. The pantry offers fresh produce, meat, and other groceries. Reviewers mention fresh fruits and vegetables, a large variety of foods, and perishable items.
Shopping is done in a self-select style, similar to browsing a grocery store. Visitors walk through and pick the items they need.
