About Us

The Hancock County Food Pantry is an all volunteer agency with no paid staff. We have been serving low income families living in Hancock County, MS for more than 37 years.  Over 50 volunteers staff our warehouse and offices. We have intake clerks who record who the head of household is and how many members they have in their family. Warehouse workers pack groceries and deliver them to the client. The Food Pantry purchases non-perishable food from local merchants and also receives  USDA food from the MS TEFAP program, donated food from the community and recovered food from one retail grocer and two nearby military commissaries and redistributes all of this food at no cost to families in need
