At the Food Pantry in Newport, NC, we are dedicated to providing essential food assistance to families in crisis within Carteret County. Our services are accessed through referrals from State and Federal social service agencies, ensuring that support reaches those who need it most. Each family receives a tailored amount of emergency food based on their size, which may include staple items like cereal, canned fruits and vegetables, rice, and essential household supplies. We are committed to helping vulnerable groups, including elderly citizens living below the poverty line, families facing financial hardship due to medical bills or job loss, and individuals with disabilities. Our compassionate volunteers are here to guide clients through the process, ensuring a dignified experience as they receive the vital resources needed to navigate difficult times. Together, we strive to alleviate hunger and provide hope for a brighter future.
