Gateway Food Pantry

We're all about (feeding) People.

About

At Gateway NRH, we believe in taking care of one another—because that’s what family does. If you’re struggling to put food on the table, please know you’re not alone, and there is absolutely no shame in needing a little help. That’s why we launched our food pantry in July 2024—to be a source of support for our community during tough times. Groceries are more expensive than ever, and we know money is tight for many. If you need assistance, we’re here for you with open arms. You are seen, you are loved, and you are always welcome here.
