Fighting Hunger
Starts With You.

Donations are always welcomed & appreciated

Money Gives More

Cash or check donations allow the pantry to purchase food items that are unable to accept as food donations, such as produce, meat, and dairy.

Cash donations are also stretched, and every dollar donated will result in four pounds of food for the pantry. It also doesn’t spoil or expire, so it can be used throughout the year.
