Food Pantry Mission
Westover Baptist and Living Water work together in distributing food to our neighbors, which is provided by individual supporters, the Chesterfield Food Bank, and supplemented with fresh produce from our own Community Garden that is pollinated by the bees from our on-site hives. We are grateful to the Baptist General Association of Virginia for the generous donations from their Hunger Funds.
The Food Pantry is located under the small porch facing 49th Street, between the Community Garden and the gravel parking lot.
