Food
These are what we run out of first.
- Peanut butter
- Canned beans
- Rice in small bags
- Cooking oil
- Shelf-stable milk
- Canned tuna and chicken
- Diapers, sizes 4 to 6
- Can openers
Bring donations to the side door on Monday mornings, 9:00 to noon, or during any open hours. Garden produce is welcome.
We cannot accept opened packages, home-canned food, or anything more than six months past its date.
Money
Money goes furthest. We buy rice, beans and milk by the pallet at wholesale prices, so a dollar here buys more than a dollar at the store.
This is a concept site, so this button does not take payments.
Checks can be mailed to Alder Bend Community Pantry, 212 Sycamore Street, Alder Bend. Gifts are tax-deductible.
Time
You do not need experience. Pick one shift, come ten minutes early, and wear closed shoes.
