Loveland Vineyard Food Pantry
At Loveland Vineyard, we want to partner with the Kingdom of God here on earth, finding tangible ways to love others and put our faith in action. Our food pantry and clothing closet are key services we offer to support those in need.
Our Mission
Inspired by Matthew 25:40, where Jesus teaches, “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me,” we view the people we serve not in any way as “less than,” but as reflections of Jesus himself. Our aim is to extend care and compassion to everyone who comes through our doors. We want to live out Jesus’ command to love others (Matthew 22:39); not just saying it as a slogan but putting it into practice in tangible ways. We can nourish both the body and the spirit, empowering clients to feed and clothe their family while giving them a place to have their story heard and offering an encouraging word.
Hours of Operation:
Tuesday – Thursday
9 am – 12 noon
Who We Serve
Our services are open to everyone, with no proof of need or identification required. We focus on individuals and families who may not qualify for other forms of aid but still face challenges in meeting their basic needs. Whether you’re experiencing temporary hardship or long-term struggles, you are welcome here.
