FAQ: Are there any food donation drives throughout the year?

Answer: Yes! The pantry is grateful to receive donations of non-expired food through several food drives each year. Currently, the pantry does not organize food drives itself, however through generous community organizations, we are the fortunate recipients of donations.

If you would like to organize a food drive, please reach out to the pantry during your planning stages to ensure that we are prepared to receive a large donation and review some of our guidelines.

THANK YOU to our amazing community partners and contributors for supporting the needs of our neighbors.
