Our mission
Reliable access to healthy food, every month.
The mission of Good Shepherd Food Pantry is to increase self-reliance, relieve hunger, and improve the quality of life for Bertie County families.
Persistent poverty, limited food access, and rising living costs continue to put neighbors at risk. We work every month to make sure every family has reliable access to healthy food across Bertie County's nine towns.
Help us close the gap.
