To commemorate the one year anniversary of the opening of the Hopkins Food Pantry, the pantry board members will hold an Open House on Sunday, April 27 from 11:30 - 1:30 across the street from the Hopkins Christian Church at 102 S. 5th Street, Hopkins, MO. The public is invited to attend.
The Hopkins Food Pantry opened on April 25, 2024 in the parsonage of the Hopkins Christian Church with eleven households using the pantry. A year later, 44 households have used the pantry serving an unduplicated count of 106 people. The pantry is a 501c3 non-profit charity associated with Second Harvest Community Food Pantry of St. Joseph, MO.
A household in need of food can receive food from USDA (based on income and/or government services) and donated food. However, anyone can receive the food that has been donated; there are no income guidelines for those items. No one goes away empty-handed; we are here to help anyone in need or going through financial difficulties.
The Hopkins Food Pantry is open the 2nd and 4th Thursdays, January - October. In November and December, we are open the 1st and 3rd Thursdays. The food pantry board members are: Deena Poynter, Marilyn Glidden, Judy Crane, Don Crane, Dick Baldwin and Cindy Baldwin.
Please join us April 27 for the Open House! We will have refreshments and people will be able to see the physical layout of the pantry and have their questions answered. Additional volunteers are always needed and donations of food, personal items, household items and cash are always welcomed.
There will be a Hopkins Community Club Beef and Noodle dinner from 11:00 - 1:00 on April 27 at the Hopkins Community Building, so people can attend both.
