Food Pantry
Food. Faith. Family. Friendship.
A Life of Ministry and Obedience
At Table of Life Ministries, we believe in the power of love in action. Our Food Pantry is one way we live out our calling to care for those in need. Located close to Downtown Springfield, IL, our pantry is well-stocked with a variety of nutritious food items, offered free of charge to individuals and families in our community. Through the Community Food Pantry and our Hope of Life Outreach Project, we work to address food insecurity head-on because no one should go hungry. Whether we’re handing out groceries, serving hot meals, or helping parents pack healthy lunches, our goal is simple: Feed the body, heal the heart, and share the love of Jesus—because there’s a seat for everyone at The Table.
No cost. No registration. No Judgment.Just love and support from your neighbors at Table of Life Ministries.
