Food Pantry
First Fruit Ministries is proud to operate the oldest and largest food pantry in New Hanover County, serving over 2,000 households every week.
What makes our pantry special is that there are no limits on how often our neighbors can visit — whether someone needs help once a month or three times a week, our doors are open. We’re committed to offering more than just the basics. Alongside nonperishable staples, our guests can choose from a wide variety of fresh produce, dairy, deli items, desserts, and other essentials to nourish both body and spirit.
