WestMark Food Pantry

We ask anyone coming to please wear a face mask or face covering of some sort to keep everyone safe. Participants will drive behind the Fellowship Hall building to line up and stay in their car until they have been directed to pull up to the food pantry doors. Participants that are walking to the pantry will have a designated place to stand – adhering to the 6 ft of social distancing that is recommended. Please follow the direction of the volunteer staff, so we can serve the community and keep everyone safe. Thank you.

The WestMark Food Pantry is a community outreach service sponsored by Westminster Presbyterian Church and St. Mark’s Catholic Church in Peoria to provide hunger relief in our community. Serving nearly 2,000 individuals per month, the food pantry offers assistance to those who live within the greater Peoria area. It is staffed by a group of committed volunteers from Westminster and St. Mark’s who serve others with respect and compassion.

If you have some free time in your busy schedule, we can always use an extra set of hands to help us unload the monthly food trucks or stock the pantry shelves.

My Story

“As a newcomer to Westminster, I’ve found it to be a most welcoming fellowship. I look forward to going to services and events and find the warmth of the congregation to be most helpful to a newcomer to the entire area. I find sermons challenging … music beautiful and well prepared … and a dignity in the worship that is all too lacking in most Protestant congregations. Mix this with an open atmosphere where it is OK to question and still be seen as a good Christian, and I know I’ve found one important ‘home’ in Central Illinois.”
