The KHUMC Little Free Pantry
The KHUMC Little Free Pantry (LFP) has been a vital resource for residents of the Outer Banks, providing free food and personal care items to those in need. Since its inception, thousands of essential goods have been distributed through the pantry. Each month, more than $450 worth of food and supplies are shared with our neighbors—thanks to the generous support of church members and the wider community. Donations of both items and funds help keep the pantry stocked and accessible to all.
Want to Help?
There are two simple ways to support the KHUMC Little Free Pantry:
1. Donate Funds – Make a donation to the church and write “LFP” in the memo section of your check. Our team will purchase the most-needed items on yourbehalf.
2. Drop Off Supplies – Bring non-perishable food and personal care products directly to the church office. (See suggested items below.)Your generosity makes a real difference. Thank you for helping us care for ourcommunity!

Room at the Inn
Kitty Hawk UMC is one of many congregations to open their facilities to provide shelter and food for homeless people during the winter months. Each church hosts the homeless for a week. Each site offers a warm, safe place to sleep, serves three meals (dinner, breakfast and bag lunch). The program is a unique way for people of faith to become directly involved with people who are homeless. The simple goal is to keep homeless people from freezing during the cold, winter months. A greater goal is to provide a more personal relationship to homeless people, and a deeper understanding of the depth and complexity of the issue, and show them God’s Love.
Food for Thought
Through partnerships with local schools, businesses and other community groups, the Kids Pack program provides homeless and very low-income school children with backpacks filled with nutritious foods each weekend, when school meals are not available. The goal of the Kids Pack program is to ensure that food-insecure and hungry children have food during the weekends so they are able to engage in school and succeed! Volunteers are needed to help pack the back packs for Food for Thought.
