Giving! It’s your power to change a life!
The Pantry works hard to stretch every dollar responsibly and strategically, to feed needy families and set the dinner table with nutritious food. Your financial support keeps our hand extended to those we serve and those awaiting our help.

“When my family was walking through loss, grief, and medical issues with my wife and daughter, I had to change my job schedule. That time was so hard on my wife and daughter, and on me as a husband and dad. The Pantry was a saving grace to me and my family!”
Our mission is to reach out to all who express a need for food. Their needs are the compelling force that drives us to serve at the highest possible level of compassionate generosity. Towards this end, The Pantry offers many ways for you to power up to give! Consider some of our options listed below and find the right giving outlet for you to plug into today!
Workplace Giving
A common goal is a powerful way to engage employees and co-workers. The incentive to give is powerful when employees and co-workers rally around a compassionate cause. Feeding the hungry and food insecure is a real morale booster and lifts the atmosphere of the workplace.
Food Drives
Schools, churches, and organizations can fuel our mission of feeding the hungry by conducting a food drive. Fill out an application today, and a representative with The Pantry will contact you and arrange for you to receive the tools necessary for a successful food drive.
Kroger
By linking your Kroger Rewards account with The Pantry, simply shopping at Kroger will help towards feeding the hungry and food insecure in our community. Just think about it! Your regular pattern of feeding your family could unlock Kroger’s ability to assist with feeding the hungry around you.
Community Gardening
You may be one who loves to play in the dirt and watch things grow. Maybe you wonder how your hobby or interest can benefit others. Wonder no more! The Pantry gladly welcomes and receives donations of produce. We can receive the fruits (and vegetables) of your labor Thursday from 8-10am.
Food Drops
You may want to help stock the shelves of The Pantry with a nonperishable donation. Every week we meet big-hearted people who know and love us and what we do to help our community. They bring in pounds of canned and boxed goods that we can easily use to stuff the bags we give out on Saturday mornings. If you would like to share non-perishables, you can drop them off at The Pantry Thursday-Friday from 8-10am.
Memorial & Honorarium
Giving to The Pantry in memory or in honor of a cherished friend, devoted family member, or dedicated co-worker can be a great way to “pay it forward” two-fold. The gift will hold great significance to you and allow the power of memories to be a way to make a difference in the lives of the hungry.
Stocks & Cryptocurrency
Your investments can yield a powerful charitable return. When you give stock, its value is multiplied in our hands. We can provide 10 meals for every dollar value. Now that’s powerful! Contact The Pantry today and be a power source to hundreds of food insecure children.
Planned Gifts
It is heart-wrenching to lose a loved one. Preplanning can prove to be a comfort in the time of grieving and provide a source of strength. When the desire of a loved one is honored, their legacy continues to bless lives. Contact us today to prepare a planned gift.
