Items available are non-perishables, perishables (seasonal), dairy, eggs, meat, cleaning supplies and toiletries.
Currently our shelves are stocked with pasta and vegetables, but other donations are greatly appreciated. We ask that you donate only unopened and unexpired items. There is a donation bin outside the front door for anything that isn’t perishable. Arrangements can be made to drop off donations as well.

If you can’t make the designated hours, food pick-up is still available by appointment. Leave a phone message or send an email.
Delivery is also available for those who are homebound. All information is confidential. The pantry is manned by volunteers from the Killingworth Women’s Organization.
