Freedom Foods Monthly Drive Thru Food Pantry​

Food Pantry

Serving Veterans with Compassion, Convenience, and Care

The G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center, through its Center for Development and Civic Engagement (CDCE), proudly hosts a monthly drive-thru food pantry in partnership with the Mississippi Food Network. This ongoing initiative is designed to support Veterans experiencing food insecurity by providing access to free, nutritious groceries in a safe, respectful, and efficient manner.

Each month, Veterans can drive through the designated pick-up location on our campus to receive bags filled with a wide variety of perishable and non-perishable food items. From fresh fruits and vegetables to canned goods and pantry staples, the items are carefully packed by dedicated volunteers and distributed directly to vehicles, eliminating the need for Veterans to leave their cars.

This format not only streamlines the process but also helps preserve the dignity and privacy of those receiving assistance. 

Event Highlights:

• Pre-registration required
• Convenient drive-thru format for safety and ease
• Volunteers on-site to assist with distribution

This program would not be possible without the generous donations from the Mississippi Food Network and the commitment of our incredible team of volunteers.
