Our mission is to ignite and empower our community to experience and share the love of Christ.
Central on Garland is a campus of Central UMC Fayetteville located just off Garland Avenue—near I-49 and north of North/Weddington Street—in the heart of a vibrant and growing neighborhood. Central on Garland is a place where all are truly welcome to gather, grow in faith, and build meaningful relationships with their community.
We are actively working on our space. Operations will continue during normal hours with a slight adjustment to format. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this process. We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
Serving neighbors on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 7:30 PM!
We all need healthy nutritional food choices, and our goal is to have a variety of options, like cereals, rice, beans, pastas, canned and frozen meat, fresh and canned fruits, fresh and canned vegetables, as well as bakery items. Basic personal products such as diapers, feminine care products and toilet paper are necessities and we try to have, at least, emergency quantities available. And pets are members of our households, so we try to have small amounts of cat and dog food to help feed them, too. Come and select what you need and prefer.

Every Sunday at 3:30 our community gathers to eat a meal together. All are welcome to join us. The Food is always great and the people are even better. This wonderful event is the core of who we are as the body of Christ. The meal is totally free. So come by and check it out!
Outside of We Are Nourished Pantry hours, you’re welcome to visit the community pantry located off Sycamore at the church’s drive entrance. Please take what you need—and if you have something extra, feel free to leave it for others. This is a shared pantry, lovingly used and stocked by our neighbors for our neighbors.
We’re always grateful for extra hands—especially volunteers who can help transport rescue food! If you’re curious, just ask any volunteer on site for more information.
