Gateway Church (Gateway Vineyard Fellowship)

Madison’s Mission’s food pantry serves the Richmond, Indiana area. We established our food pantry in February 2006 as an outreach ministry of Gateway Vineyard Fellowship. With the tough economic times, we’ve seen an explosion in the number of families using our food pantry. We currently serve over 900 families per week. Many of these families have told us that they do not know what they would do without the help we’ve been able to give them. Our food pantry is open every Saturday from 7:00am to 11:00am. We are glad to help anyone needing groceries. The only requirements are 1) you can only get one bag of groceries per address, and 2) the first time you come you must register by showing something that verifies your address (ID, license, utility bill or rent receipt, etc.). In 2008 we have helped over 2,600 different families.

Every month Madison’s Mission sponsors a Truckload Food Give-away in the parking lot of Gateway Vineyard Fellowship. Doors open at 8:00am with the truck arriving about 9:30am. The giveaway is over at 11:00am. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come and get food. The only requirements are 1) you can only get one bag of food per address, and 2) the first time you come you must register by showing something that verifies your address (ID, license, utility bill or rent receipt, etc.). We ask that you bring a box or some other type of container (such as a laundry basket) to put your food in. For the date of the next Truckload Food Give-away go to:
