Peter’s Porch

A Food Pantry ministry at Landis Valley Christian Fellowship and other locations in Lancaster, PA

Join us at our location on the
fourth Saturday of each month from 8-10 AM

Generosity. Fellowship. Community.

Peter’s Porch is a local food pantry ministry operating in various locations throughout Lancaster County, offering free food, a free hot breakfast, and a great community of relationships, the first four Saturdays of each month. See below for the list of locations.

Breakfast is served in the church basement, and the food bag distribution is a drive-thru. You can choose to enjoy them in either order.

• Food bag distribution Pull your car into the line in the church parking lot. You will be asked to fill out a “self-declaration of need” form for your household. After that, pull your car around as instructed and the groceries will be loaded into your car.

• Breakfast Park in the church parking lot and come into the basement. We usually serve eggs, sausage, pancakes, fruit, pastries, and drink. While you are in the basement, check out our choice table, which provides a variety of items to choose from in addition to the groceries you receive in the drive-thru. Feel free to stay and chat with the others around your table. Great conversations are something we love about the morning!

Get Involved

Prayer It all starts with prayer. Pray for those that are in need to be able to find food. Pray that volunteers will continue to show up every fourth Saturday. Pray that we can receive the food needed in order to provide for others in Lancaster, PA.

Volunteer A small team meets on Thursday nights to bag nonperishables. Peter’s Porch Saturday volunteers meet every fourth Saturday at 7 AM to start bagging food. The kitchen crew starts at 6 AM to prepare food for the hot buffet breakfast, open to the general public.
