A part of the Giles County Christian Service Mission, the 512 Food Pantry enhances the Mission’s efforts to eliminate food-insecurity in Giles County and increases the nutritional quality of the food items being offered.  As a client-choice center, the pantry offers persons in need the opportunity to choose their own food, giving them a sense of dignity and autonomy. This model also offers greater efficiency by eliminating wasted food and allows clients to tailor the assistance they receive to be the best possible fit for their own unique situation.  The 512 Food Pantry is located at 512 Wenonah Avenue in downtown Pearisburg.  The name of the 512 Food Pantry comes not only from its physical address, but also acknowledges the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand with five loaves, two fish, with twelve baskets left over. 

A space has been dedicated in the new 512 Food Pantry at the Giles County Christian Service Mission in Pearisburg to offer personal care items such as shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, dental floss, deodorant, feminine care items, and soap.

The 512 Food Pantry is an official partner with Feeding America Southwest Virginia and follows strict guidelines for cleanliness and proper food handling and storage.
