Do you know a neighbor, coworker, or family member who is struggling to put food on the table? The Faith Baptist Food Bank exists for exactly that situation — and referring someone is simple.
What Is the Faith Baptist Food Bank?
The Faith Baptist Food Bank is a community ministry of Faith Baptist Church. Its purpose is to compassionately serve our neighbors by connecting local grocers with those facing hunger and financial hardship. Each week, volunteers collect, sort, store, and distribute food and toiletry donations — living out the Scripture's call to "love thy neighbour as thyself." Food donations come through the Grocer Against Hunger program, Philabundance, Bucks County Opportunity Council, and Harvest Connection, and typically include produce, canned and boxed goods, dairy, meats, and more.
The food bank is led by Brother Jim and Monica Guy, who serve with both faithfulness and a heart for the gospel.
Who Can Shop?
Anyone is welcome. Each household may visit once per week (with at least seven full days between visits). One person per household shops at a time.
What Should They Bring?
A current photo ID and reusable shopping bags (helpful, but not required).
When Can They Come?
There are four shopping times each week:
- Sunday Afternoon — 12:15 p.m. (Waitlist opens at 10:15 a.m.)
- Sunday Evening — 6:30 p.m. (Waitlist opens at 4:30 p.m.)
- Tuesday Evening — 4:00 p.m. (Waitlist opens at 2:00 p.m.)
- Thursday Evening — 7:00 p.m. (Waitlist opens at 5:00 p.m.)
How Does the Waitlist Work?
The waitlist opens two hours before each shopping time. To join, your friend or neighbor just needs their name, a phone number or email address, and the number of people in their household. They can sign up at checkin.faithbaptistfoodbank.com. They'll receive a notification when their turn is coming up.
Where Is It Located?
The food bank is located in the "Hawks Nest" building in the back left corner of the parking lot behind Faith Baptist Church, 1515 Wistar Road, Fairless Hills, PA 19030.
