Charleston Food Pantry is not moving!
We have purchased our forever home.
We are, however, seeking a renter for part of the building.

Many people have asked questions about the sign in front of our building.
The Food Pantry is not moving! We have purchased our current building and consider it our forever home. The Coalition for People in Need also continues to serve at the same location.
The For Rent sign is posted to advertise that we have office space for rent. (Interested? Call 217-348-3030).

Come celebrate with us on March 12 at 12:00!
Thanks to the generosity of our friends and neighbors who participated in our capital campaign, the Charleston Food Pantry was successful in purchasing our building.
Join us for our ribbon cutting, including lunch and tours of the property!
