What is God’s Storehouse?

God’s Storehouse is a private, non-prophet organization that collects, stores and distributes large quantities of food to the poor, the elderly, and children.  The project was established in 1987 by a group of area churches dedicated to serving the underprivileged in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.  To date, 100 congregations of various denominations in Danville and Pittsylvania country have joined together in creating God’s Storehouse, with more joining every day.

God’s Storehouse is supported solely by member churches and private contributions.  There are three paid staff members: a Director, a Secretary, and a Warehouse Assistant.  The rest are volunteer workers dedicated to helping our less fortunate neighbors who are hungry.

God’s Storehouse:

Serves individuals and families whose income level is just above the federal poverty guidelines making them unable to qualify for federal/state programs.  Included in this group are persons recently laid off, put  on part-time or a shorter work week.

Eliminates duplication of service, as one provider will replace numerous small food pantries operated by area churches.

Deters persons who take advantage of assistance programs and serve only the deserving poor.

Hosts the USDA Commodity Program for the city and country.
