Open Door Food Pantry

Group of ten people standing in front of a white building with a closed garage door and a sign that says 'CHURCH AT THE BAY'.

"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me... Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me."

Around 2018, God led the members of The Church at the Bay to begin the Open Door Food Pantry. This ministry provides food to those in need and has grown to serve over 2000 people a week! The Open Door Food Pantry does not seek qualifications before helping those who say they are hungry. We merely act as the hands and feet of Jesus and serve those who come to our doors.

The Church at the Bay is a little church with a small, close-knit group of members, supported by a larger number of local volunteers who all collectively show the love of the Lord. Please, consider volunteering or partnering with us to feed the hungry in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, and the greater Emerald Coast area.

If you are in need of supplemental food, our doors are open from 9:00 am until 3:30 pm every Saturday. The Open Door Food Pantry is located at 24388 US Highway 331, Santa Rosa Beach.

Volunteers are always welcome.
