Drive Through Food Pantry for our Community
First Saturday of Every Month | 10:00 a.m. – noon
St. John’s Baptist Church | 1615A Oberlin Road
White Memorial has joined with five other churches along Oberlin Road to host a non-perishable drive-thru food pantry to help our neighbors who might be experiencing food insecurity. Each participating church has specific food items to bring. We’ve been asked to collect non-perishable proteins and healthy snacks like canned meats, beans, and peanut butter, along with nutritious grab-and-go snacks like granola bars, fruit cups, and peanut butter crackers.
You can leave items in the red bins outside of the Outreach Room or purchase through our Amazon wish list. Items will be directly delivered to the church. You can also make a financial donation allowing us to purchase food.
Another way you can help is to volunteer. We need people on the Friday before the Saturday Food Drive to help set-up and then on Saturday to help distribute food bags.
To donate non-perishable items through our Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/L1JVI0I62WTT?ref_=wl_share
Contact Michelle Jeutter or Ruth Landers for more information.

Food Needed
Remember that food is always needed in our local pantries. When shopping pick up a couple of extra cans to place in the crate in the Red Bins. Canned meat, pasta, pinto beans, kidney beans and fruit are always needed. No glass or open containers please.
Red Bin Locations
Red bins are located in the breezeway outside of Pickard Hall, in The Hub and outside Main Hall in the Edinburgh Building.
Outreach asks, before you drop off items in the red bins…
To please be mindful of what the church is currently collecting for our agency partners. We will always accept non-perishable food items for Wake Relief and Urban Ministries. What we will no longer accept is clothing unless specifically requested, like coats, hats and gloves in November and December. If you have clothing to donate, please take directly to one of the following agencies: Dorcas, Dress for Success, Goodwill, Healing Transitions for Men & Women, Interact, Note in the Pocket, or Women’s Center of Wake County.
Thank you for your generosity and consideration by only donating items requested.
Volunteer Opportunities
Meals on Wheels Drivers Needed in Your Neighborhood
If you’re working from home with a bit of flexibility around lunch, if you are retired and looking for a way to connect in your community, or if you are a parent looking for opportunities to volunteer as a family-- consider delivering a hot meal and a warm smile to a homebound senior neighbor. Meals on Wheels routes take about an hour, and you can choose a route close to home- on a regular basis, or just an occasional shift when your schedule allows. It’s a simple way to give back and brighten someone’s day! Apply here:
