FOOD DRIVE INTEREST FORM
We are only accepting food to the Food Pantry by way of dedicated Food Drives. If you or an organization would like to have a food drive, we will ask that the food be limited to the items we need most during that time. These items are typically items we find it hard to purchase affordably.
During the holiday Season, we are easily overwhelmed with food drives. In order to manage the load on the food pantry we ask that you please book your drop off time EARLY.
WE NEED FOOD YEAR-ROUND!
Please consider doing your food drive in the Spring when we need it the most.
Please check that food that is donated to your food drive has not expired!
We can not distribute food that is past it’s expiration date.
Items we are currently in need of (items in bold are urgent needs):
Cooking Oil – any kind | Coffee (ground) | Tea (Individually wrapped) |
Canned Peas & Corn | Tuna | Sugar & Flour |
