OUR HISTORY
East Stokes Outreach opened its doors in August of 1989. The non-profit was established on Highway 311 with the goal of helping those in need of food and clothing throughout eastern Stokes County. It eventually moved to a nearby renovated sock factory at 301 W. 3rd Street. The ministry rented the building at $1 a year before purchasing it outright for $20,000.
In May of 2012, the food pantry was torn down and offices were temporarily moved to Family Pharmacy on Main Street due to structural issues. A capital campaign ensued and on September 29, 2014 a ribbon cutting was held for the new food pantry, located on the same property as the thrift store.
East Stokes Outreach Ministry serves nearly 11,000 individuals each year and one-third of those are children. Many families seeking food assistance never imagined they'd have to ask for help. There is also a rise in the local elderly population who live on social security and find themselves having to choose whether to buy groceries or pay for medical care and medications.
East Stokes Outreach partners with Second Harvest Food Bank in Winston-Salem and is able to purchase food at a deep discount of .19 per pound. Their network of partner programs offer a critical source of nutritional support. Local grocery stores, Ingles and Food Lion in Walnut Cove, contribute meat, deli, breads and desserts, which is picked up by volunteers five to seven days a week. Donations from civic organizations, churches and businesses have kept East Stokes Outreach Ministry thriving over the past 30 years.
