The Food Pantry at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church provides much needed food to families in our community each week. On an average month, the Pantry provided over 400 children with nutritious food and other staples such as diapers, juice, soap, etc. After The demise of AIDS Resource Center at St. Barnabas, who maintained their own food pantry, the number of families knocking on our doors in need of help increased exponentially. Our empty shelves are a strong reminder of the increased demand for help and our decreasing supply of food supplies. We are constantly in need of resources to help us with our mission. Non-perishable food is always needed.

The Food Pantry relies on friends in the retail grocery business, food manufacturers and wholesalers for donations of their surplus items; especially perishable foods like meat, dairy products, bread, fresh fruits and vegetables. Donating surplus food inventory is a safe and efficient way to reduce warehouse storage and disposal costs.

It's cost effective to donate it, not dump it. Cased inventory can be transported to the Food Bank on pallets. Take advantage of tax benefits, while providing food to our Neighbors in need. Contact the Food Pantry about donating any of these items:
