Donate or Collect Food from your Home or Business

If you would like to personally donate food, we welcome fresh produce, dairy, and non-perishable items that are within the expiration date. We can only accept prepared foods from commercial kitchens.

Donations of non-perishable groceries and shelf-stable items may be brought directly to the Pantry on Tuesdays or Wednesdays by contacting Roberta Horowitz rhorowitz@mountkiscofoodpantry.org for a drop off time. You may also use the receiving bin outside the main Pantry door, located near Halstead Hall behind the United Methodist Church from 9am - 5pm during the week. 

Rescue Food from Commercial Establishments

Our Pantry rescues excess, unsold, near expiration food from a variety of commercial establishments and vendors, i.e. supermarkets, wholesalers, restaurants, farms, bakeries, bagel shops and others.
