Want to help feed others in our local community?
Nearly 20,000 people are considered food insecure in Cherokee County, and many families struggle to put food on the table. Through the First Baptist Woodstock Food Ministry, you can help church members and Cherokee County residents in need access nutritious, delicious food for themselves and their families.
Each week, we give away 25 food boxes per day, and each box costs approximately $80 to fill. These boxes are made possible by our food drives, donations from local businesses, and generous donors like you.
Donate to our Food Ministry today, and help us care for those in our community!
Food Pantry Hours

Donate Money
Put the cash or check you would like to give in a tithing envelope and indicate “FOOD PANTRY” on the outside of the envelope and also write it on the memo line of your check, and place it in one of the offering receptacles on Sunday morning. You can also bring your donation to our office during business hours, or give online below.
Are you struggling with food insecurity?
If you and your family are suffering from food insecurity, we offer once per week food distribution to our Cherokee County community. Visit the Care Ministry in the lower level of the B Building to receive a box of non-perishable food that will help feed a family of 4 for 5 days. You can receive one box of food each week. Call our office for more details or to schedule a pickup.
