How We Got Here

Born out of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Wesley House’s Red Bird Community Store began as an urgent response to food insecurity. Today, it stands as a permanent pillar of our mission, serving the Beaumont, Lonsdale, and Mechanicsville communities. What started as a simple food pantry has grown into a fully stocked donation center, providing not only groceries but also clothing, toiletries, and essential household items to those in need.

How We Operate

The Red Bird Community Store is open five days a week, providing essential resources to anyone in need. While all are welcome to visit, mobile deliveries are available exclusively to residents of the Beaumont, Lonsdale, and Mechanicsville communities.
