About Us
Our Mission
To attack hunger in our communities with nutritious food, compassion, love, and resources. To ensure every hungry Delawarean gets to eat, and no one has to choose between food and bills.
1 John 3:17-18
If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
What we do
One Purpose Food Pantry is a 501c3 organization that was established in 2021 to attack hunger in our community. The pantry serves individuals and families in New Castle County who require food assistance regardless of the reason. Nutritious food and resources are accessible with no judgment but with words of encouragement. One Purpose Food Pantry focuses on serving our community with faith, kindness, compassion, and love, just like Jesus did.
One Purpose Food Pantry provides nutritious food to combat food insecurity and contribute to better health outcomes for our community, and nutrition education to help people choose healthier food options. By offering guidance on selecting healthier options, the pantry is not only addressing immediate hunger needs but also promoting long-term health and well-being within the community. Encouraging individuals to make nutritious choices can have a significant impact on their overall health, potentially reducing the risk of chronic conditions and promoting a healthier lifestyle.
If you need food, please look under the event section for the location of our next food giveaway event. If you or your organization is interested in nutrition education services, complete the contact form below and someone will contact you with more information.
According to Feeding America in Delaware, there are 114,190 people facing hunger and of them, 32,830 are children (feeding America, Hunger in Delaware, 2022, www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/delaware). Your support is key to solving this problem. Everyone deserves healthy food on their table. One Purpose Food Pantry accepts monetary and food donations to help feed our community members in need. During this time, food donations are accepted by appointment only. Click the link below to give monetary donations online.
