Northeast Christian Church

Who Can Visit?

The NorthEast Christian Church Food Pantry is open to anyone in the community who needs food support. It's run in partnership with God's Pantry and serves the east side of Lexington.

Good to Know

The pantry serves upwards of 140 families each Saturday, so arriving early is a good idea. Spanish translators may be available if you need help.

Food & Essentials

Available items include dairy, breads, meats, fresh vegetables and fruits, and non-perishable foods. Limited hygiene items may also be available on some visits.

How to Pick Up

When you arrive, follow the signs to the West Wing entrance. The pantry uses a numbering system to manage the line, so getting there early helps you get a lower number.

Ways to Give

The pantry welcomes both food and monetary donations.

For food donations, they accept non-perishable items including boxed pasta, canned pasta sauce, canned vegetables, and canned soups. Drop off food donations outside the Food Pantry on Sunday mornings or during normal church business hours. Please don't bring donations while the pantry is open to the public.

Monetary donations help the pantry buy bulk foods from God's Pantry at a significant discount. To donate online, visit the Food Pantry donation page. Donations are tax-deductible through NorthEast Christian Church.

For questions about donations, email foodpantry@ncclex.org or call (859) 299-1251 and leave a message.
