At A Glance
Pantry
We give out food for free to our neighbors across Gainesville.
Volunteer
We are completely volunteer-run by members of our community.
Donate
Donate your time, resources or money to make Free Grocery Store possible.
Delivery Pantry Update
Beginning in 2026, we will no longer accept grocery delivery requests.
Free Grocery Store is completely volunteer-run. We are limited in resources, time, and energy. We are constantly checking in with each other to see how we can continue getting free food to our neighbors in a sustainable way.
We understand this change impacts our community and would like to focus on initiatives to make our in-person pantry more accessible.
