The Interfaith Works Food Pantry is a client-choice pantry located within the IW Essential Needs Center, allowing individuals and families to select their own food and diapers in a store-like setting. The pantry primarily serves residents of Rockville and surrounding areas in specific zip codes. Families outside the served zip codes may still access food after completing a monthly Clothing Center appointment. The Essential Needs Center also houses the IW Clothing Center and connects visitors to additional resources and social services. Shopping is by appointment only, scheduled through SignUpGenius links on the Interfaith Works website.

Provides free groceries via an indoor pantry on weekdays and an outdoor drive-up/walk-up pantry on Saturdays by appointment. Also offers free diapers, a no-cost thrift store with clothing and household items, periodic Gaithersburg pop-up distributions, limited home delivery for homebound clients, and assistance with SNAP/Medicare applications and sign language support. Pantry service is for adults 18+; ID required. Walk-ups also require appointments. Clients must arrive within 15 minutes of appointment time; early arrivals should not block main road. Diapers are for children born between 2022 and 2026; bring parent/guardian ID and document with child’s name and DOB; limit 2 packs per child per month. Home delivery is available for homebound individuals; email mjoe@sowhatelse.org to request enrollment; deliveries occur about every two weeks and may have a waitlist based on geography/volunteer capacity. Sign language assistance is available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM during food pick-up appointments. The Spanish helpline is (240) 471-5995.
