Sumter County Food Pantries
 
In place of our usual year end charitable contributions, we’d like to donate funds to a food pantry that directly serves Sumter County residents. We are looking for suggestions of such organizations. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wildwood food pantry is a good one

Salvation Army is always my first preference for donating.
Wonderful organisation.

Also every year there is a barrel at Laurel Manor rec center to collect new toys, stable food items, and new pajama's to be distributed to the children of families who live in Ocala Forest. I am pretty sure that you can find a barrel at all regional rec centers for that purpose.

There is an article in today's newspaper about "Seeds of Hope-Wildwood," a nonprofit supporting both the Wildwood Food Pantry and Wildwood Soup Kitchen. They collect both funds and food donations. Donors can send a check made out to Seeds of Hope-WSK (Wildwood Soup Kitchen) to P.O. Box 243, Wildwood, FL 34785. The article doesn't say how to send a check specifically for the Food Pantry. I think you could call the Wildwood United Methodist Church, Seeds of Hope sponsor, to find out.

Thank you for the address. When my mother came to live with us this was a charity she supported. She carefully vetted charity organizations including some animal shelters.

That is correct. The food is donated to Our Mother of Mercy Food Pantry which serves over 100 families in Wildwood. They take both non-perishable food and monetary donations.

Sumter county sheriff's office is collecting NON perishable food. Call 352-689-4600 for more info.

Grace Tabernacle on Warm Springs Road has a food pantry. They collect on M & W mornings...just drive around to the back. They distribute food on Tuesdays, so that isn't a good time to go.

Our neighborhood collects food every month and donates to Grace Tabernacle Church. They feed about 100 families a week.
