The Christian mission of the Geneseo-Atkinson Food Pantry is to provide food, clothing, and short-term emergency assistance for families and individuals in need.
We aim to serve the whole person, striving to positively impact our guests’ total sense of wellness – economic, education, health, environment, and community – with the ambition of empowering our guests to live more functional, effective, and healthy lives.
Responding to the needs of all our “least brothers and sisters.” (Matthew 25:40)
