Budgets get tight, and everyone hits a hard stretch sometimes. Whether you are a young soldier's family at Fort Drum, a neighbor in Black River, or driving in from Watertown, our pantry is here to help you feed your household with dignity and zero hassle.
Come during pantry hours, and we will help you with a quick computerized sign-in, then carry home groceries. That is the whole process.
The food is free, and you are a neighbor, not a case number. There is a brief sign-in because we partner with the Central New York Food Bank, but we make it painless and walk you through it.
The pantry runs on a two-week rhythm, generally in the early afternoon. Since dates rotate, check the events on our homepage or call ahead so you do not miss it.
Many who receive later return to help. You can volunteer on pantry days, donate food, or give toward the ministry so the shelves stay stocked for the next family.
The things people most want to know before they come by.
Anyone who needs it. The pantry is open to the whole community around Black River, Fort Drum, and Watertown, no matter your situation. You do not have to be a church member, a certain income, or from a certain town. If groceries would help your household right now, you are welcome.
The pantry runs every two weeks, generally in the early afternoon, at Covenant Church in Black River. Because the exact dates rotate, the surest way to catch the next one is to check the events on our homepage or call or text the church at (315) 783-5136.

Free groceries to help feed your household, the kind of staples that stretch a tight budget. Supplies vary week to week, but the goal is always the same: to send you home with real food and no strings attached.
