Donate Food & Clothing

Your donations help us keep our food pantry stocked with a wide variety of foods. Our Top 10 List helps us fill our shelves and distribution menus with items that we can’t otherwise find through our many food rescue sources.

The Food Pantry only accepts these items:

• Non-perishable food
• Fresh produce (Only if the item does not require refrigeration. We cannot accept cut fruit even if these items are in sealed containers)
• Baked goods in the original sealed package, commercially prepared and unexpired
• Cat and dog food (may be open)
• Laundry detergent
• Personal care items
• Baby wipes
• Diapers (open packages are accepted)
• Adult disposable underwear (open packages are accepted)
• Paper towels
• Toilet paper
• Household cleaners
• Light bulbs

While we are very appreciative of your donation, we ask that you remove the following items from your donation, as they do not meet our guidelines and we CANNOT accept them:

• Expired food
• Frozen and refrigerated items
• Open containers or partially used items (this includes personal care and laundry detergents)
• Venison
• Over-the-counter medication

We have to dispose of these items when they are donated, which unfortunately adds to our costs.
