Our Daily Bread Food Pantry @ Good Sam

ODBFP logo

Our Mission : Provide nourishing food to our community.

Our Vision: We are the hands and voice of Jesus to those who are hungry, sharing food with all who come to us.

Hours of operation: 10:00 am to 12:00pm Wednesday & Friday each week. Closed on holidays that might fall on those dates.

Pantry Location: In the basement of the middle building on the campus of Good Samaritan Lutheran Church. Our address is 20850 Langley Rd, Lexington Park, MD 20653.

How the Distribution Works:  One visit to the pantry per week with a punch card to track visits . We provide a plastic grocery bag after check-in and people may take whatever they need from the shelves.  A few items are rationed (peanut butter, jelly, cereal, canned/frozen meat). When we are stocked with canned or frozen meat items each person is allowed one item of their choice.

Where do we get the food?
