Gloucester's Bread for Life Community Food Pantry on Route 14 runs two weekly walk-in days plus monthly drive-thru mobile distributions around the county — a schedule generous enough that most households can find a workable window. The Virginia Peninsula Foodbank's regional network backs it up across the Middle Peninsula.
Bread for Life's Schedule
The pantry at 7840 John Clayton Memorial Highway (Route 14) opens Mondays 11 a.m.–2 p.m. and Wednesdays 1–4:30 p.m. — call (804) 694-9366, and note it closes for federal holidays (its Facebook page posts holiday-week adjustments). Beyond the fixed location, Bread for Life publishes a monthly mobile food pantry schedule of drive-thru distributions at sites around Gloucester County — watch its Facebook page for this month's dates.
Regional Coverage
The Virginia Peninsula Foodbank's need-food page lists partner distributions across the Peninsula and Middle Peninsula, and 211 Virginia's directory carries Bread for Life's current listing. If you're on the Mathews or Middlesex side, ask Bread for Life about the mobile stops — they often land closer to you than the Route 14 building.
