Terrytown's food pantry operates from Gretna United Methodist Church's campus on Whitney Avenue — twice-weekly weekday distribution plus a first-Saturday community distribution run in partnership with Second Harvest, the food bank for greater New Orleans and Acadiana.
The Gretna UMC Pantry
The pantry at 1309 Whitney Ave distributes Mondays and Thursdays, 10 a.m.–1 p.m. — call (504) 366-6685. On the first Saturday of each month it partners with Second Harvest for a larger community distribution (also 10–1 per the food bank's partner list), the best day for a bulk restock. Second Harvest's partner network stocks the shelves year-round.
West Bank and Parish Options
Jefferson Parish's West Bank has several church distributions on rotating Saturdays — community listings note a third-Saturday distribution at WestPoint Church in Gretna (bring ID and documentation) — and Second Harvest's no-hunger.org site lists every partner pantry in the parish. Louisiana 211 tracks current schedules.
