This food pantry provides groceries to support the Montgomery College community. We aim to ensure students and staff have access to nutritious food resources.

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.

This resource provides groceries to individuals and families.

Aspen Hill Christian Church operates a food pantry providing non-perishable groceries. Assistance is coordinated through the church office by appointment. The church also engages in various community outreach activities.
