College Park Community Food Bank

About College Park Community Food Bank

We work to reduce hunger in College Park and the surrounding communities by regularly offering healthy food to individuals and families. We are entirely volunteer run. Food distributions are held every Saturday between 9:30 and 11 am. We began addressing food insecurity in the community in September 2008 as part of the College Park Church of the Nazarene. Through the years, our work has been a community effort supported by other faith organizations, municipal governments, businesses, and many individuals from College Park and surrounding communities. Our first food distribution provided meals to 13 families, and before the pandemic on a typical month, we served 100 families. Since the pandemic began, we’ve been serving more than ten times the families we normally serve in a month. The number of household requests for food has increased every year since 2020. In 2024, we fulfilled nearly 19,000 requests. To better reflect our broad community support, in 2021 we became an independent nonprofit, recognized as a 501(c)3 organization by the IRS. The church continues to host us. We are a community food bank in two important ways: The community supports us with vital donations of money, food items, and volunteers. And we help the food-insecure individuals in our local community. We don’t accomplish this alone. Thanks a million to our donors, volunteers, and partners! The commitment of the local community makes it possible to fulfill our mission!
