About  Franklin County
Food Pantry
About  Franklin County
Community Development
& Land Trust Corporation


Presently housed at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church located at 27-6th Street in Apalachicola.

The pantry is open on the first and third Tuesdays of each month from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and assists approximately 400 families distributing around 800 or more bags each month.

The Franklin County Food Pantry provides a good representation of people working together to do something good within the Community from the Food Pantry Committee to the many volunteers who donate their time to unload trucks and make bags to distribute. Without these volunteers the Food Pantry would not be able to operate.

In addition to the food that is donated from local food drives, residents and businesses, food is purchased from America’s Second Harvest of the Big Bend and also at cost from the IGA and Piggly Wiggly in Apalachicola.
In the past, thanks to local food drives and private donations we have been able to provide holiday meals at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

We receive funding from the Franklin County Board of County Commission, Trinity Episcopal Church, Charles A. Frueauff Foundation, United Way and Private Donations.

The Food Pantry is always in need of your support either by making monetary or food donations or by volunteering your time to help the county’s most vulnerable citizens.

Monetary donations may be made online with your Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Online Check, or PayPal.
