Lighthouse Food Pantry located at 294 W/I Parkway Dallas Ga. 30132
We are across the street from Ingles in Dallas. Turn into the Sav-a-lot Gas station and we are to the right. Inside the office building.
678-363-7470

We are open every Monday & Thursday from 10:00am until noon.
And every Friday night from 6:30pm until 8:00pm

We provide FREE food to those in need.
 
This is a wonderful thing you do Charlies Angels. Thank you for being such a help to the folks of Paulding County. :)
 
Yes we do apperciate all donations we get. We accept anything that a family can use. We buy all our food at the Atlanta Food bank for 17 cents a pound.

We also use things like shampoo, laundry det. ( these items we divide up so it will go to more people. We pour them up into water bottles and give them out that way). We always need deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and things like that.

We are a 501c3 and do give tax receipts ( upon request).

We are feeding on average 800 people a month. That is 75 families each week. We see homeless people, people who have no power in there homes. People living in their cars. It is a sad time we are in. However we are there to do all we can for them.

And yes it is a calling God has called us to and we so enjoy helping others.

What an incredible ministry! Thanks for being faithful to God's call for your lives. You are truly making a difference!
 
Thanks. Our vision is to next open a soup kitchen to be able to feed them on site as well as send them out with food.

We are getting prepared to do that and we pray it will happen soon. We are taking classes and getting kitchen items together to help us do just that. We are so excited about this. We have a man who lives in a school bus. And we cooked chili for them on Christmas eve and you would have thought we handed him a million dollars. He was so excited about that bowl of chili. So of course we sent him out with a huge bowl to eat on Christmas day. He cooks over a little charcoal grill we gave him.
 
We are also starting up several new programs ( coming soon). We are in need of basic kitchen supplies. If you have anything you would like to donate.
We could use items like:
Pots and pans
Iron skillets
(We are cooking big amounts of food) large pots
Roaster pots
Meat grinders
Big spoons ( for dipping and stirring ) long handle spoons
Electric griddle
Paper plates, plastic sliverware
Meat slicer
Serving pans, carts
Baking (cookie) sheets
Folding tables
Any other cooking utensils and kitchen supplies that would help us out.
We are starting up a few new programs and we hope to be able to feed many people hot meals. As well as sending them out with food to take home.
We are starting to serve cooked meals and feeding programs.
 
We could also use items like refridgerators and freezers.
 
Oh thank you so much. Let me know when you need us to come pick them up.
 
Just wanted to say we are open even on holidays. So we will be open Monday Labor Day. We only close when the weather is bad enough to cause safety hazards to everyone.

We now have the soup kitchen open on Friday nights only from 5:30pm until 8:00pm.
 
Do you have much refridge/freezer storage space? Never thought of that with the coupon contest. I could be really good for me to let folks know if they can use coupons for items from those areas of the store in the contest. The more perishable foods could be cooked/served in the soup kitchen, if need be.
 
YEs we have plenty of both fridge and freezer space. Sorry so late in responding. Just for the future, I answered the question.
 
You guys are amazing and our county is truly blessed to have Lighthouse!! Let me know when you open up for hot meals and I will have my husband share that with the people at our church's Thursday night food pantry.
