about
The Clay County Food Pantry is a non-profit organization in Clay County NC, whose purpose is to aid families and individuals in our community who suffer from hunger by providing food assistance, and to make referrals for other assistance, without reference to ethnic or racial origins, religious, political or social beliefs.
Hours of Operation: Fridays 9am to 12noon
The Clay County Food Pantry began distributing food in 1992 at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, using the basement of Oak Forest United Methodist Church. This non-denominational, ecumenical effort has the vision to resolve the suffering of Clay County's hunger "one box at at time". In 1995, the organization incorporated and obtained 501(c)(3) status. With demand growing, and space a challenge, in 2000, the Clay County Food Pantry opened a purpose-built facility on Hinton Center Drive, dedicated to providing food to those less fortunate.
