About the pantry

Serving Fairview with food, dignity, and shared responsibility.

Food For Fairview is a local food pantry serving Fairview, North Carolina, and the surrounding community. The pantry was organized in 1999 and operates as an all volunteer effort from the Fairview Community Center.

Our mission is to share the love of God by assisting individuals and families of the Fairview community who are experiencing financial hardship.

Mission and values

Community members working together.

Food For Fairview believes in the power of our community working together to meet the immediate needs of neighbors struggling with hunger.

We respect the dignity and inherent worth of every person and see service to others as a core part of building a hunger free Fairview community.

That mission is carried out through local cooperation with individuals, churches, schools, businesses, and partner organizations.

Pantry model

A Client's Choice pantry

Families receive individual attention from volunteers and choose the vegetables, meat products, soups, baking items, pastas, hygiene items, and household goods their family can use.

This approach allows us to provide assistance in a compassionate, personal way.

Community giving that supports Food For Fairview.

Partners and outreach

Food access grows through local partnerships.

We rely on partner organizations and community events to keep support close to home and visible throughout the year.

Key partners
