Christian Food Pantry

Food assistance for neighbors in Lady Lake and The Villages.

About the pantry

Since 1998, the Christian Food Pantry has given supplemental groceries to local families who need a helping hand. It is one of North Lake’s Big Three ministries, hosted by the church at its own location in Lady Lake.

Many of the families who come to the pantry have a home and some income but still struggle to afford groceries. As of September 30, 2026, the pantry has recorded 3,446 family visits, serving 8,730 people. On October 13, a record 48 families received groceries in a single afternoon.

The pantry runs entirely on gifts from North Lake members, other churches, civic groups and individual donors. It receives no government assistance.

Donate or volunteer at the pantry

Volunteer your time, contribute groceries and supplies, or support the pantry with a financial gift. Pet-food donations also help families care for their animals.

Along with support from North Lake Presbyterian Church, the pantry relies on private donations from caring people, churches, groups, and businesses in our community. It is not a government program and does not receive any government assistance.

Making a difference since 1998
