The Anglicare Community Van will pull into St Stephen's Anglican Church in Mittagong on June 19.
It will provide the opportunity for people in the community access up to two bags full of pantry items for just $10 a bag.
One of the church members involved in the program Lynette Ray said that people could choose from a variety of pantry staples including flour, sugar, long life milk and tinned products to fill their bag.

"The items available vary from one visit to the next," she said.
"Some food is donated, but Anglicare also purchases many of the items available, that is why there is a fee charged for each bag."
Lynette said that anyone was welcome to make a purchase from the pantry.
However, she said there was a two bag limit per person.
The pantry service will be at the church fortnightly from June 19 and will be open from 10.30am to 11.30am.
Meanwhile, the church's popular Friday morning tea has also resumed.
Supported with donations of cakes and pastries from Gumnut Patisserie, Bakers' Delight and the Chelsea Bakery in Mittagong, the morning tea is held each Friday from 10am until midday.
The morning tea provides an opportunity for people to catch up with others in the community while enjoying a complimentary drink, and cake or pastry.
Lynette said that sanitiser would be available and social distancing was required to meet the current COVID-19 regulations.
She said there was also a limit of 50 people at the venue at any one time.
