Hold a Food Drive

Corporate food drives help sustain the pantry for longer durations. Your organization could help build up reserves on our pantry shelves.  You can use your own containers, or we will deliver a barrel for you to fill!

FOOD WE CANNOT USE:

If your donation is perishable, i.e., it’s something with a limited shelf life if not refrigerated we cannot accept it. There are other categories of food that we can’t use:

• Items needing refrigeration:  Food like produce, dairy, and meat can spoil easily
• Expired food: When considering what to donate, think about what you’d be comfortable serving your family. Chances are, you don’t eat food that’s past its “use-by” or “sell-by” date, so avoid donating anything past those dates.
• Food with packaging concerns: This includes food with damaged packaging such as dented or bloated cans, packaging that is already open, or even items in glass containers, which can shatter and cause food safety concerns for any other food they’re stored near. A good rule of thumb is if you wouldn't consider buying it new, don't donate it.
