How to Donate

The Food Pantry gladly accepts all non-expired and unopened non-perishable food items. If you would like to donate, please visit one of our pantry locations during our weekly open hours.

For your convenience, our locations have a donation dropbox immediately in front of the location or accept non-perishable donations during open hours. The following are some of the items recipients request most often:

  • Peanut butter (and other kinds of nut butters)
  • Canned soup (any kind!)
  • Canned fruit
  • Canned vegetables
  • Canned stew
  • Canned fish (tuna, salmon, or any other variety)
  • Canned meats (chicken and other canned proteins)
  • Canned beans (garbanzo, pinto, pigeon peas or gandules, and any other bean variety)
  • Pasta (rigatoni, linguine, tagliatelle, shells, elbow, any dry pasta!)
  • Rice (brown, white, Jasmine, basmati, and other )
  • Quinoa
  • Barley
  • Flour
