St. Luke Church - God's Pantry Food Distribution Center

Who Can Visit?

Anyone who needs food is welcome at the God's Pantry food distribution center hosted at St. Luke Church. Reviewers recommend calling 859-259-2308 to get on the list before your visit. Staff will let you know your scheduled time.

This location also runs a separate seniors program called the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). That program is open only to adults who are 60 years old or older. Bring a valid ID to the Monday morning distribution to sign up.

How to Register?

Call God's Pantry at 859-259-2308 to get on the food distribution list. Staff will tell you when to come.

Items Needed for Registration

Seniors signing up for the CSFP program on-site should bring a valid photo ID.

How Often You Can Visit?

One reviewer says you can come back to the food pantry about every two weeks.

Good to Know

Plan to arrive about an hour before your scheduled time. Reviewers say the line fills up quickly and food can run out before the day ends. One visitor notes that waits of around an hour are common, so coming early is a good idea even if you have a scheduled time.

Food & Essentials

The pantry carries a large variety of groceries, including many name brand products. God's Pantry website testimonials mention fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and lean meats as items neighbors regularly receive. Seniors in the CSFP program get a monthly box that typically includes juice, cereal, milk, pasta or rice, peanut butter, canned meat, canned fruits and vegetables, and fresh produce.

How to Pick Up

Volunteers and staff hand out food to neighbors who come to the distribution. Reviewers note there can be a wait of about an hour, so plan accordingly.
