Lincoln’s Promise Food Pantry
Lincoln’s Promise Food Pantry at the Coatesville VA Medical Center helps Veterans in need of food assistance. Any Veteran worried about not having enough food for themselves and their family is welcome at our pantry. We are primarily a 'choice pantry,' meaning Veterans can shop and select the items they prefer to eat. There is always a supply of prepared boxes of food ready to place in the hands of a Veteran in immediate need.

Eligibility does not depend on an income threshold. Veterans can self-refer by visiting the pantry during open hours.
We ask that Veterans bring their own grocery bags to use for shopping and transporting food home.
