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.

We provide two main services: a Food Pantry and a Clothing Closet.

History

The Loveland Vineyard Food Pantry has been serving our community for over 15 years. As a ministry grounded in faith, we are dedicated to offering help and hope to those falling through the cracks of other assistance agencies, providing supplemental support. A Board of Directors provides oversight to all the finances of the Loveland Vineyard.

Our Impact

This ministry is run by a small but dedicated church of about 30 people, working tirelessly to meet the needs of our community. In 2024, we have seen an unprecedented rise in demand. We’ve grown from serving 20 families per week to over 70, supporting more than 250 individuals each month.
