Food

The Community Shelter of Union County has a robust food program that serves many of our neighbors across the county

• Our kitchen and dining hall provides prepared meals to residents living in Shelter.
• During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are providing a weekly grocery bag to people not living in the Shelter to supplement other food resources including food stamps. These grocery bags are distributed every Tuesday, 5 – 6 pm while supplies last.
• The pantry program distributes over 2,500 food boxes and hygiene products a year to neighbors living in housing.
  • We have started a bi-monthly mobile pantry in collaboration with Common Heart and Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina. They are held 9:30-11:30 am on the below dates. Call the Shelter at 704-261-3491 or Common Heart at 704-218-9060 for more information.
