    The CommUnity Hands Food Pantry is an Agency of the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank. It is supported by the First United Methodist Church of Denham Springs, St. Francis Episcopal Church, ExxonMobil (current and former ExxonMobil employees volunteer hours), and other incidental community locations and individuals through food donations.

    The Food Pantry volunteers and/or its contributors will not be responsible for any liability, losses, claims, causes of actions, or suits of law in relation to its storage and/or use of the food donated.

The CommUnity Hands Food Pantry provides a way to share the abundance that God has showered on us with those in need in our community. Emergency food is shared with love and respect to those who come for assistance. Our desire is for those in need to receive not only food for their physical hunger, but generous portions of love, kindness and grace to feed their spiritual and emotional hungers. We believe the words of Jesus that this is one way we can respond directly to God’s love for us.

“For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in…” Matthew 25:35
