The Beth Pantry

At The Bethlehem Center, our food pantry exists to meet our neighbors with dignity and care by providing healthy, nutritious groceries to individuals and families facing food insecurity. We offer emergency and short-term food assistance, with a focus on fresh produce, non-perishable staples, bread, frozen items, and other nourishing options.

Our pantry is stocked through generous donations, local food drives, and purchases made in partnership with the Chattanooga Area Food Bank. Every item we provide is part of our larger mission: to reduce hunger in our community and support long-term health through access to good food.

We believe that everyone deserves access to healthy meals—and we’re committed to walking alongside our community to make that a reality.

Need support beyond food?

We know that life can feel overwhelming, and food security may just be one piece of what you and your family are navigating. If you're facing challenges like housing instability, job loss, or financial strain, our case managers are here to walk alongside you.

You’re welcome to stop by during walk-in hours (Tuesday – Friday, 10am–1pm). We offer a safe, supportive space to talk through your situation and explore options together—whether that’s rental assistance, job resources, or help navigating other services.

Walk-ins are welcome, or fill out our referral form here.

We are so grateful to our partners at Publix at Mount Vernon, whose generous donations of meat and baked goods help stock our pantry twice a week.
