McAllister Church is home to the area’s COPE Food Pantry. COPE is a volunteer organization serving the people of the Alleghany Highlands. We are a partner with Feeding Southwest Virginia. It is our purpose to partner with others to alleviate food disparity in our community. We aim to improve the wellbeing of our community through reliable access to nutritional food. COPE does not discriminate on the basis of race, nationality, sex, gender, age or religion.
From March 2025 to January 2026, we served 7,767 people at a food cost of $49,900. The pantry is 100% dependent on community donations of time and financial support. We wish to thank our community and our food partners – KFC (Covington), Food Lion (Covington) and McDonald’s (Low Moor) for their support.
