Affected by the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). We're Here to Help.
If you’re a Wilmington resident and you have worries about a temporary work stoppage and how it may affect you, please reach out to us. Depending on your situation, we have many ways we can help meet your needs and hopefully relieve a little stress during a difficult time. We offer a Food Pantry and Emergency Relief Assistance. We welcome email inquiries, which will have a faster response time, wilmcf@verizon.net
Food Pantry
We have no plans to cease food distribution at this time. We have established operational plans, taking into consideration the safety of our volunteers and clients. We are practicing social distancing and taking precautionary sanitation measures. For the safety of everyone we ask our patrons to please wear a mask.
The Food Pantry is set-up as a “drive-up" to ensure the safest handling of food and distribution to limit physical contact with community members. Recipients picking up food do not need to get out of their vehicle and a volunteer will place your packaged bags of food in your vehicle.
We are open on the 2nd and the 4th Wednesday of each month from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM. See how to Register for Food Assistance.
