Divine Providence Food Pantry & 24-Hour Food Pantry
About
Serving our community by providing food and essential items through the Divine Providence Food Pantry and our 24-Hour Food Box, sharing the love of Christ with those in need.
At Elevated Church, we are committed to serving our community by providing practical support to individuals and families in need through our Food Ministry.
Our 24-Hour Food Box, located on the south side of the church property along 78th Avenue near the sidewalk, is available 24/7 and stocked with canned goods, boxed foods, and personal hygiene items. Through the generosity of our church family and community, the box is continually replenished so that anyone in need can access essential items at any time.
Our Divine Providence Food Pantry is a weekly USDA commodities program that provides temporary food assistance to qualifying individuals and families in Pinellas County. Each week, we serve approximately 120–135 households. Volunteers are always welcome to help pack food on Fridays at 4:00 PM, with food distribution taking place from 5:30–6:30 PM.
Whether through our weekly pantry or our 24-hour food box, our desire is to share the love of Christ by caring for the practical needs of our neighbors. We believe that meeting physical needs opens the door to demonstrating God's compassion and hope.
