Welcome to The Pine Island Food Pantry

About Us

The Pine Island Food Pantry was founded in 1993 with the goal to ensure “No One Goes Hungry” on Greater Pine Island. The organization was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on January 2, 2010 and is now a non-denominational, 501c3 non-profit organization - The Pine Island Food Pantry, Inc. We serve the residents of Pine Island and the greater Matlacha area and are open Mondays and Thursdays from 9am to 11am. Clients may pick up groceries twice per month. The pantry is housed in the Life Center of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church at 12175 Stringfellow Rd, Bokeelia, FL 33922.

New clients are welcome. An ID is required at each visit to verify residency in our service area. Food amounts are distributed by family size and ages. Groceries include milk, eggs, sliced cheese, baked goods, canned goods, pasta, meat, toilet paper and bar soap. Other personal care grooming and hygiene products, as well as pet food and baby products are also frequently available.
