The Pantry is Moving Back Indoors and We Need your Help!

Since March 2020 we have operated the FPCY Food Pantry in a drive-by model with pre-packed bags of non-perishable groceries and a choice of meat and other items. It’s time to go back indoors, in a full choice shopping model. The shopping model provides more choice and dignity for our clients — but it requires significantly more volunteer staff to operate. Can you help us? We need friendly able-bodied volunteers from 7:30 – 11:30 two Saturdays per month starting in August. We will work with your schedule to ensure that your time is well used on the days you volunteer. It is a heart-warming opportunity to learn about your neighbors and make new friends!

Please sign-up for Aug 11 or 12 here:

 

Or contact the office or Debbie Bernadini to let us know of your interest.

Can’t volunteer but want to help? We are in great need of breakfast cereal (preferably not the huge boxes please), pasta of any sort, and canned fruit and juices. With school closed for the summer, families have even greater needs to feed their children.

Noting the item of the month and bringing in some supplies can help us “fill the gaps.”

You can drop off items any time in the labeled bins near the red double doors at the back of the church building. 

If you would like to make a food donation, Please Note:
  • Non-Perishable FOOD Only
  • NO Food with expired dates on the packages. 
  • Donate the quality of food you would serve to your own family. 

Online contributions to the Food Pantry are also most welcome.You can find more information, including our distribution schedule on our Food Pantry Page.
