The derivation of the word is from the same source as the Old French term paneterie; that is from pain, the French form of the Latin panis for bread.
These are just some of the questions a church should consider before launching a food pantry ministry. For those who have the space and the manpower, and are equipped to handle these challenges, a food pantry can be a rewarding and beneficial ministry. But the decision to start one should not be made rashly.
