The Purpose/Mission of the Friends of St. Martin de Porres is based upon the Gospel message that followers of Jesus Christ will feed the hungry, especially Jesus’ account of the last judgment (MT 25:31-40).
 
The Friends of St. Martin de Porres Food Pantry operates programs to provide our neighbors in need with food which includes feeding the homeless; individuals and families; and supporting other programs with similar missions.  In operation since 1982, we serve over 2,500 people in crisis each month with food.
 
The pantry is open Tuesday through Friday 9:00am – 11:45am.  We ask our neighbors in need to please bring an ID for all members of the household.   You will also be asked to complete paperwork upon your arrival.  To save time, you may click here to access the Neighbors in Need Enrollment Form.

New Volunteers for the Friends of St. Martin de Porres Food Pantry are always needed and welcome.  We need individuals to staff the office and/or food pantry.   In the pantry, volunteers escort our neighbors in need through the pantry while assisting them with choosing food from the shelves.  In the office, the volunteers assist with registering the clients and distributing frozen and refrigerated items.  For more information about volunteering, please contact the St. Martin de Porres Food Pantry office at 770/939-3501 ext. 231, or [email protected]., or click here to complete a volunteer interest form.
