About Us
Text Box: Our History Prodisee Pantry is a faith-based non-profit community food pantry that has provided food assistance to over 9,500 Baldwin County families facing financial hardships stemming from job losses, medical expenses, natural disasters and other crisis. The Pantry opened November 18, 2003, as an outreach ministry of Spanish Fort United Methodist Church, and incorporated in 2005. Following Hurricane Katrina, the Pantry sent out more than 16,000 emergency food boxes and other relief supplies valued at $20 million all along the Gulf Coast. Our Mission Our mission is simply based on the scripture, “I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” Matthew 25:35. Families facing tough times financially are provided with food and information. As a faith-based organization the goal of Prodisee Pantry and the desire of its volunteer staff is to ease the hunger pangs of those in need in Baldwin County. The Pantry also provides the local church and community with a valuable outreach service ministry of faith and love. Who We Serve Providing food to single parents, unemployed and under-employed households, families in transition, homeless, retirees, and grandparents raising grandchildren, is always deemed an emergency. In the past four years, over 9,500 families made up of some 27,500 individuals from Baldwin County have received help from Prodisee Pantry. We offer our services each Tuesday from 9 to 11:30 a.m. at The Gathering Place in Prodisee Center at the corners of Highways 31 and 98 in Spanish Fort. We often receive calls for help that cannot be delayed until our regular operating hours, so a volunteer will box and arrange food delivery to help a family who is having trouble making ends meet.
