Mission
The Food Pantry of Lakeview Baptist Church exists to make, nurture, and equip disciples of Jesus Christ in sharing the gospel by tangibly providing food to those in need across East Alabama.
Schedule
Food Distribution operates on a first-come-first-serve basis and occurs on Mondays from 9-11 AM.
Get Involved
