About Our Food Pantries

Fighting Food Insecurity at the Beaches

To help stretch resources for low-income individuals and families, BEAM food pantry services offer a supplement to their groceries.

The amount of food offered is dependent on the size of the family. Individuals can visit the pantry every three weeks. Volunteers stock shelves, monitor inventory, and assist clients in shopping. Generally, clients receive enough food for three meals per family member for four days.

BEAM does its best to accommodate individual dietary restrictions. Personal Care items may also be available. To request an appointment, call 904-241-2326.

What to Expect

  • Assistance with food is available for residents within our service area (32233, 32266, 32250, 32082, 32224, 32227, and 32228).

  • All active-duty military members are eligible to receive food assistance, regardless of zip code.

  • Appointments may be made seven days in advance by calling (904) 241-2326.

  • Clients must bring proof of residency (lease, mortgage statement, utility bill phone bill, bank statement) in BEAM's service area and picture ID.
