    Info

    Hearts and Hands Food Pantry is a full choice food pantry that offers fresh and nonperishablel groceries, personal care items and pet foods BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Appointments can be made from our website. We do not require referrals but welcome them. We offer two services, PICKUP and DELIVERY. PICKUP has less regulations than DELIVERY which is more stringent.

    For PICKUP, an appointment must be made, the client must bring a photo ID (open to all not just US citizens) and a piece of mail as proof of address. For DELIVERY, client must meet 2 of our eligibility requirements and submit a photo ID and a verification document for their eligibility (for example: Disability benefits cover letter, doctor's note, etc). This information can be found in detail on our service pages through our website.

    NOTE: When seeking an appointment through our website, please read everything carefully and understand it.

  5. How do I get food?

    You can receive food by visiting the food pantry or soup kitchen when it’s open. Make sure to check each resource page to see details like address, full schedule, and requirements.

  6. Can someone deliver the food to my house?

    Delivery services are very limited and are reserved for senior citizens or those with serious medical problems. If you believe you fall into either category, let us know and we may be able to help you find options in Garden Park.

  7. What do I have to bring?

    Every location is different! Please review the details included on each resource to see whether you need to bring any documentation like ID or proof of address, or supplies like bags to carry the food. If you don’t see any information on the resource, you don’t have to bring anything!

  15. Do I need an appointment?

    Every location is different! Some places in Garden Park accept appointments, some require it, and others allow walk-ins. Please review all details on the resource page to understand how you should prepare for your visit.

  16. What kind of food do they have?

    Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  17. Do they have vegetables?

    Pantries may have different options at different times, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day. Most pantries in Garden Park do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

  18. Do they have meat?

    Pantries may have different options on different days, so it’s hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  19. Any pantries open today?

    If you’ve signed up for personalized assistance through our text message helpline, please take a look at the links we’ve sent you! If none of the resources we’ve sent are open today, let us know and we can search for additional options. Here’s a list of everything in Garden Park that’s open today: Macedonia Baptist Church

  20. Where are you located?

    Because our work is mostly virtual, the Lemontree team works remotely, and we don’t have an office in Garden Park for in-person visits. You can always reach us by texting 90847 between 10am-6pm, every day of the week.
