Meeting the Needs of Food-Insecure Marylander's

305 North Kent Street, Chestertown, MD 21620
Open every Tuesday, 10-12

The Chestertown Seventh-day Adventist Food Pantry is an outreach ministry that provides free food to those with food insecurities in our community and surrounding areas.

The Food Pantry is operated by the Chestertown Seventh-day Adventist Church. We are a total non-profit organization and depend on grants and generous donations from our community members. We, also, partner with the Maryland Food Bank, which supplies canned, fresh and frozen food items. The only criteria to received food is that the recipient must be a Maryland resident.

We are open every Tuesday from 10:00 to 12:00.

If you have a donation or food emergency, please contact Jessie at 443.988.3886.
