Food Pantry

Why the Food Pantry?

Food prices are rising, making it harder to afford essentials like meat, dairy, produce, and groceries. If you have a large family, your monthly food costs can be hundreds of dollars. Everyone is welcome. No matter your background or situation, we are here to help.

Food Pantry Hours and Info

When and Where:

  • Days: Mondays and Wednesdays
  • Time: 10:15 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. (or earlier if we run out of food)
  • Location: Jim Arpin Pantry Building, 1001 E. 10th Street, Haines City, FL 33844

How It Works:

  • Visit Schedule: You can get food every other week.
  • What You Get: The food you receive depends on what we have donated. Expect a mix of frozen food, meat, canned goods, bread, dairy, produce (when available), and packaged goods.

How to Get Food

  1. Line Up: Please line up in the parking lot on the right side of St. Ann Catholic Church, 1311 Robinson Dr., Haines City 33844. Get a black plastic card with a number for your place in line.
  2. Short Interview: After you park, come inside for a short interview. Bring your black plastic number card and a form of ID.
  3. Food Number: After your interview, you’ll get a white card with a black number. This is your food number. Return to your vehicle and place the white card under one of your windshield wipers. Our volunteers will prepare your food order.
  4. Pick Up: When your food order is ready, drive to our loading zone. Please make room in your vehicle for the food before driving to the loading zone. Our volunteers will bring your food order to your vehicle using a food cart.
