We are asking the community for unexpired canned goods, produce, pantry items, or anything you have at home that can help us keep feeding people.

Right now, ShopRite and other stores cannot donate again until May 30th, but hunger does not wait until the 30th.

The last thing we want to do is close our doors or turn people away. We are still serving families, seniors, disabled neighbors, discharged hospital patients, and anyone who comes to us needing food.

We need help today.

We accept:

Unexpired canned goods

Fresh produce

Rice, pasta, beans, cereal

Shelf-stable pantry items

Donations can be brought to 6114 Chestnut St. We are open 7 days a week

Financial donations to restock fast
