The pantry is located at Saint Matthew's Church on Mountainview Road in Voorheesville. Two rooms hold our in-stock items. Our pantry includes:
Our clients are diverse and so are their needs. We may assist the single parent, the elderly, disabled or a family who is struggling financially. Whether their need is short or long-term, our goal is to provide basic nutrition and guide them towards being self-sufficient.
Each client is assigned a volunteer caregiver, who is the confidential liaison between the client and the pantry. The caregiver is responsible for preparing the food package based on the clients' household needs and arranging for a convenient pickup time.
Stock Sources & Fund Raising
Approximately 50% of the food pantry stock is bought from the Regional Food Bank. The remainder is received from community food drives and private donations. Monetary donations are also received and always welcomed.
