Stealey & Duff Street United Methodist Churches Food Pantry
We have moved!
Open Each Tuesday
9:30 am to 1:00 pm
Located at the Duff Street UM Church's Multi-Ministries Building at
204 Baker Avenue
Clarksburg, WV 26301
WE ARE NOW HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE.
There is parking in the alley between the Sanctuary and Multi-Ministries Buildings.
Due to the COVID-19 virus, extra precautions and social distancing will be observed. The Food Pantry is considered an Essential Service. We will give out pre-bagged food and are not able to offer a selection during this time. We do not have all our usual items but have food that will help feed your family.
If you have been to the Food Pantry before, all we will need is your name as we have your essential information. We will bring the food to the door and you will not need to enter the building.
New families will need
a. Valid WV Driver’s License or ID
b. Proof of residency - utility bill or rental lease
c. Birthdates for all family members
Backpack Program - The Backpack Program is on hold until students return to school. A date for bag assembly will be determined as soon as they return.

Opportunity To Serve
The Food Pantry is staffed by volunteers. In addition to working when the Food Pantry is open, there are opportunities to shop, stock shelves and organize food drives.
We also provide bags of food for weekends for students at North View and Adamston Elementary Schools. Volunteers are needed to help assemble these bags when school is in session.
Other Ways To Help
The Food Pantry can always use donations of canned vegetables, fruit, meats, soup, spaghetti & sauce, instant potatoes, scalloped potatoes, peanut butter & jelly, cereal, brownie mix, crackers to fill the food orders.
We also provide personal care items such as toothpaste, soap, shampoo, as well as cleaning supplies and dish detergent. We like to give toilet tissue and laundry detergent when they are donated.
Backpack needs include individual size servings of applesauce, fruit, pudding, granola bars, oatmeal, cereal, pretzels, cheez-its, soup, cup-o-noodles, macaroni & cheese, ramen noodles, and cheese or peanut butter crackers.
We use monetary donations to purchase any items we are low on as well as bread, potatoes, onions, margarine, cheese, and eggs each week. The most needed items are listed in the monthly newsletter.
