Gilani’s Pantry began with a simple yet powerful mission in July 2021 to ensure that no one in our community goes to bed hungry. Our journey started from a place of deep compassion and a desire to address the unmet needs of our neighbors, who often fall through the gaps of traditional assistance programs.

We are a family-run food bank mostly funded by family and friends in Nicholasville Kentucky, we recognize the challenges faced by individuals without a fixed address. Fueled by the belief that everyone deserves access to sufficient, nutritious meals, we opened our doors to all, without the burden of lengthy application processes. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where anyone facing food insecurity can find support, dignity, and nourishment.

For the past three years, we have operated from the humble setting of our garage, relying on the generosity of food donors and the dedication of volunteers. Every donation, whether in food, time, or support, has been a vital thread in the fabric of our work. As we look to the future, we are in process of expanding into a new warehouse space to better serve our growing community. However, our core values remain the same to be a low-key, community-friendly, and equal-opportunity food pantry where everyone is welcome.

Together, we can ensure that no one in Jessamine County and beyond goes hungry. Join Gilani’s Pantry as we continue our unwavering commitment to creating a more nourished, thriving community for all.
