Emergency Food Pantry
Located in Columbia, Serving all of Marion County
Our Pantry distributes shelf-stable groceries for food-insecure families or individuals every Thursday from 5:30-7:00 pm (drive-through pickup). You may pick up for your family once per month, any Thursday of the month. Participants must fill out paperwork once to receive food for a year. This can be filled out in person at the weekly distribution.
For participants: The monthly distribution occurs in the parking area DIRECTLY BEHIND Woodlawn Preparatory School at Woodlawn Church, located at 1452 Hwy 98 E, Columbia, MS 39429. On the day of our distribution, you will see signage indicating where to drive through for pick up.
You must come in person with a photo ID to fill/sign your application. At your first visit, you may designate another person to pick up for your household.
In addition to our regular distributions, we also partner with the Columbia Police Department to host “Pop-Up Pantry” locations throughout Columbia. Follow our social media accounts and watch for those announcements!
