Ending Food Insecurity, One Family at a Time

Maryland is home to 650,200 people, including 204,660 children, who don’t always know where their next meal is coming from. Despite being one of the wealthiest states in the nation, Maryland’s communities are deeply impacted by food insecurity. People from all walks of life find themselves in need of food assistance from time to time and for a variety of reasons.

In response to this great need, the Deeds of Faith Food Pantry was started over 20 years ago by a member of Crosswind Church (formerly known as Westminster Church of God.) Initially starting small by helping a handful of families each week out of a classroom in the church, the pantry quickly grew to its own facility on the church property where we now serve an average of 60 to 90 families per week. By serving this number of families we are currently making an impact in the lives of over 150 individuals per week.

Jesus said in Matthew 11:28, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Times are tough and many feel they are all alone, but we are here to tell you that you are not alone. God loves you and He has a plan for your life.

Everyone is welcome at the Deeds of Faith Food Pantry, no matter what walk of life you are coming from!

Location

The Deeds of Faith Food Pantry is located on the grounds of Crosswind Church in Westminster Maryland. When approaching the church on Lucabaugh Mill Road, the food pantry is located in the front of the large yellow barn facing the road. When you arrive, please pull into the church driveway and you will be instructed on how to proceed for curbside pickup.

Support the Food Pantry

The Deeds of Faith Food Pantry is open and free to everyone in the community. By supporting the pantry, you are helping to feed hundreds of families in the greater Carroll County area every month.
