DCCM Food Pantry is a coalition of 15 multi-denominational area churches and private donors that have combined resources to run a centrally located food pantry. We are located on 430 8th St., in the heart of Augusta, and conveniently located near several housing complexes and on Route 3 of the Augusta Public Transit system.
Since 1978, DCCM has established itself as a consistent, reliable source of food for those in need.
Food Programs
DCCM distributes bags of nutritious food to individuals that meet income guidelines. We strive to supply a diverse array of items that our clients would be proud to feed their family. It is our hope that everyone has access to nutritious food regardless of their ability to pay.
DCCM also offers “Snack Packs” to our homeless clients. Snack packs are ready-to-eat, prepackaged foods that do not require cooking equipment. These Snack packs enable our homeless clients to eat when the soup kitchens and shelters are not open.
What Makes Us Different?
DCCM is categorized as a “super pantry,” distributing nearly 100 tons of food to clients every year. Because of our convenient location, regular hours, and consistency, DCCM has become a pillar in the community for those needing food. Over 1200 families each month rely on DCCM for sustenance.
Most area pantries operate as an “Emergency Pantry,” limiting the amount of times an individual may receive food to a few times per year. Because the majority of our clients are on a fixed income and face chronic food insecurity, we allow individuals to receive food several times each month if needed. As a result, DCCM volunteers build a genuine rapport with our clients. We pride ourselves on developing relationships with the people we serve.
About Our Food and Staff
DCCM works in partnership with Golden Harvest Food Bank to provide food for those in need. A bag of food contains an assortment of canned goods and frozen meat or vegetables. We also provide bread, milk, fresh produce, juice, and cereal when available.
We are proud that our organization is operated nearly entirely by volunteers. We have over 30 volunteers that dedicate their time to load groceries, interview clients and pack bags. Without their hard work and generosity, DCCM would not be able to feed the hungry in our community.
“I came from NY to take care of my 3 grandchildren. DCCM is the food pantry I was introduced to after calling a local social service agency. Food in Augusta is very expensive. Without DCCM I couldn’t afford to feed a family of five. Thank God for the pantry.” – Eleanor M.
