Welcome
... to the Reisterstown United Methodist Church Food Pantry!! We are a ministry of the Reisterstown United Methodist Church serving food to families in need. Our all-volunteer staff is ready to help you.
The RUMC Food Pantry is a partner with Maryland Food Bank and we work closely with the Community Crisis Center, Westminster Rescue Mission, and the Alpha Pregnancy Center. We operate solely by volunteers and via donations made to the Food Pantry. We are always looking for new partners.
We Serve
The RUMC Food Pantry serves the residents of Reisterstown, Owings Mills, Glyndon and Finksburg. If you live in those communities then you are welcome to stop by once a month for a free bag of food. Please note that ID is required to show residence in these areas. We also have a "swap shop" that makes clothing and other donated items available if you have a need.
Hours We Are Open
We are open:
Saturday mornings from 8:30 am to 10:30 am
Find Us
We are located in the basement of the Dale Chambers Community Center located at 308 Main Street in Reisterstown. Please come around back and take the ramp down by the brick wall.
There's limited parking behind the Food Pantry so if the lot is full, please use the main lot behind the church.
Help Us
The Food Pantry is always in need of additional help as the need for food in our community continues to grow. We welcome connections with local businesses through food drives, financial donations, and volunteers.
