The Lewisville-Clemmons community is known for its small-town warmth, neighborly spirit, and willingness to support one another, especially during the holiday season. Whether a family is struggling to put food on the table, an elderly resident needs assistance, or a neighbor simply needs encouragement during a difficult time, our area offers several valuable resources.

 

Below is a guide to local organizations, programs, and ministries offering help to those in need in Lewisville, Clemmons, and greater Forsyth County.

 

1. Clemmons Food Pantry

One of the most essential resources in our community is the Clemmons Food Pantry, located on Neudorf Road. The pantry serves hundreds of families each month with a generous selection of grocery items, including dry goods, fresh produce, bread, and frozen meats. Families receive enough food to last about a week and may return every 30 days if needed. The process is simple, friendly, and confidential, ensuring that anyone facing food insecurity can receive help without judgment.

The pantry operates on a volunteer-based system, which means local residents can also give back by donating food, funds, or time. For individuals or families struggling during the holidays—or anytime—the Clemmons Food Pantry remains one of the most accessible and compassionate sources of assistance.

2. Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina

Located in nearby Winston-Salem, Second Harvest Food Bank of NWNC plays a major role in supporting local families by distributing millions of meals through partner agencies and community programs. While Second Harvest doesn’t serve individuals directly at its main facility, it powers a network of food pantries, churches, shelters, and mobile markets throughout Forsyth County—including several right here in Lewisville-Clemmons.

 

Residents in need can visit Second Harvest’s website and use the “Find Food Near You” tool to locate the closest pantry or distribution site. As the holiday season approaches, many partner locations also offer seasonal food boxes or special Thanksgiving distributions. Second Harvest is an excellent resource for those who may not be able to get to Clemmons Food Pantry or who need additional support.

 

• 📍 Headquarters: 3330 Shorefair Dr NW, Winston-Salem, NC 27105. Second Harvest NWNC

• ✅ They have a “Find Food Now” / network of partner agencies across Forsyth County & surrounding.

• 🎯 Thanksgiving relevance: They coordinate food distribution and partner pantries often ramp up for holiday needs. Call ahead to locate the pantry/distribution near you.

• ✔ Good as a network resource if you need more than one pantry or are outside the immediate Clemmons zone.

 

3. Local Churches and Ministries

Many of our local churches are deeply committed to helping families experiencing hardship, offering everything from food boxes to financial assistance, holiday meals, and emotional support. A few key examples include:

 

• Harmony Grove United Methodist Church in Lewisville, which regularly hosts food drives and partners with Second Harvest.

• 📍 Address: 5041 Styers Ferry Rd, Lewisville, NC 27023.

• 📣 They are hosting a “Fight Hunger” event ahead of Thanksgiving to benefit Second Harvest and collect food for families. WXII

• 🎯 Good for local holiday-specific assistance (food drives).

• ✔ Even if you miss this particular event, the church may know about other holiday meals or distribution efforts.

 

• River Oaks Community Church, known for its outreach programs and community assistance fund.

 

• Clemmons United Methodist Church, which participates in mission programs and seasonal outreach efforts.

 

Churches often have short-term aid available for emergency needs, and because they stay closely connected to the community, they are excellent at referring families to additional support services.

 

4. The YMCA, Schools, and Youth Programs

The Jerry Long Family YMCA in Clemmons and local schools (including Clemmons Elementary, Lewisville Elementary, and area middle/high schools) often run clothing drives, backpack food programs, and student-family assistance funds. School social workers can discreetly help connect families to meal programs, winter coats, holiday gifts, and community partners. For households with children, these programs can make a meaningful difference—especially during the colder months.

 

They also have a Blessing Box. This box contains nonperishable food items and essential toiletries intended for individuals experiencing food insecurity or housing instability. All contributions are made anonymously, and the contents are accessible to the community at any time. It is located at the Jerry Long Family YMCA in the first parking lot on the left off Jessie Lane Road in Clemmons, NC. The guiding principle is: take what you need and leave what you can.

 

5. Local Mutual Aid & Community Groups

Lewisville and Clemmons both benefit from active online community groups where neighbors help neighbors. Through local Facebook groups, church forums, and neighborhood networks, residents routinely offer extra meals, household items, coats, and toys during the holidays. While not formal programs, these groups reflect the heart of the community and can be a good starting point for someone who needs quick, informal help.
