How it works
The St. Paul’s Lutheran Church Food Pantry Ministry is an all-volunteer outreach program. This service is provided by the generosity of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church members and friends in the greater Baytown community. We are open for grocery bag distribution one day a week on Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. (unless we run out of food before noon). Occasionally the Food Pantry will be closed due to a funeral, wedding, holiday or other church function that takes place during the Food Pantry hours.
Our volunteers work to ensure that bags of food are readily available for people to come and pick up. In addition to distributing bags of food, we provide information to our recipients about area food resources to assist them in achieving self-sufficiency.
The Pantry offers groceries twice a month, per family. We will offer the highest nutritional value available. The Pantry also provides non-food items such as: toothbrushes, shampoo, laundry detergent, soap, bath tissue, etc. when available. We gladly accept assistance from public and private aid agencies as well as from members of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and the greater Baytown area.
Mission Statement:
St. Paul’s Food Pantry is a ministry to serve in response to God’s love to meet human needs, advocating dignity and justice for all people, standing with the poor and powerless, and committing to serving their needs.
Who We Help:
Our food pantry is open to any household that participates in government assistance programs or is in need of assistance due to unemployment or medical problems.

We will provide assistance to anyone regardless of race, color, age, religion, national origin, disability, gender, sexual orientation, political affiliation or location.
