FOOD PANTRY

A Moment of Gratitude

The Kingswood Food Pantry team would like to express our gratitude for the outpouring of support we received in response to our year end outreach.  

Thanks to the very generous food and financial donations, the pantry shelves are well stocked and we are starting the year in a financially sound position.  Just a few years ago, as we were coming out of COVID, the food pantry was struggling to keep the ministry going.  Thanks to all the donors, food drive sponsors, our wonderful volunteers and all who helped make it possible to continue to serve our neighbors in need in 2026.

Food Pantry Open 9:30 am - 12 pm Thursdays

The Food Pantry provides food on an emergency basis to families and individuals from Wheeling Township, which includes surrounding suburbs.  Through the generous donations of food items from Kingswood and other community members, we have been able to serve 40-60 families each week.  Donations are accepted in our Fireside Room in the designated bin.  Items may be dropped off between 9 am and 5 pm daily.  The items most needed are:
  • Cereal
  • Pasta, pasta sauce, and mac & cheese
  • Canned chili, beef stew, chicken & dumplings, tomato soup, and chicken noodle soup
  • Peanut butter and jelly
  • Canned tuna (small cans)
  • Canned green beans, potatoes, diced tomatoes, corn, and canned fruit
  • Bags of rice
  • Diapers, especially sizes 4-7
  • Baby wipes
