Seeds of Hope
Seeds of Hope supports both the Wildwood Soup Kitchen and the Wildwood Food Pantry. All general donations go 100% to the Kitchen and Pantry. There are no checking or savings accounts. There are no salaries. To raise funds and collect food, prearranged Congregation-hosted concerts take place each year over a 2-1/2 week period about six weeks before Easter. All food collected by Seeds of Hope-Wildwood is weighed in at the Wildwood Food Pantry and shared with the Wildwood Soup Kitchen. All checks and cash are received through the Wildwood Soup Kitchen, and half of the total amount is given to the Wildwood Food Pantry.

There has been a faith based pantry operation in Wildwood for over 25 years. The Wildwood Food Pantry moved to its current home at Wildwood United Methodist Church in May, 2005.
