Nelson County Food Pantry
The Nelson Country Pantry is dedicated to assisting our county residents who find themselves in need of food assistance. On a monthly basis the Pantry provides supplemental food to more than 275 households which is approximately 6% of the population of Nelson County.
How does Nelson UMC help?
Our church assists the pantry with packing and food distribution the last Saturday of every month. If you would like to learn more about volunteering or just to learn more about the Food Pantry in general, click here.
