Good Samaritan Food Pantry

I Need Food

When can I come?: Guests may visit as often as once a month – Monday or Thursday, 9AM to 12PM. Guests experiencing homelessness are allowed to visit as often as once a week, and will receive our special no-cook bag. 

What should I expect?: Our pantry is drive-up and there will be a signage and volunteers to guide you. Because some of the food we provide is USDA food, you will be asked basic questions about your name, address, other assistance you receive, and the number of people in your household. You do not need to show ID.

I can’t get to the pantry: We do not deliver food. A friend or family member may pick up food for you. Please send them with a signed copy of this form if you wish to receive USDA food. You may also call 211 (the country helpline) for a complete list of local pantries.

I Want to Donate

We would love to receive your donations!

Food Donations: We receive food donations during our regular pantry hours – Monday & Thursday, 9AM to 12PM.  We love donations of non-perishable, unexpired foods.  Especially welcome are canned proteins, canned foods with pop-tops, boxed cereals, pastas and sauces and peanut butter.  While we do accept pet food for dogs and cats, we are not well equipped to accept perishable food items or clothing. Please come to the door facing the parking lot to deliver your donation.

Monetary donations: Our pantry is entirely volunteer-run. We are pleased to say that 100% of your donations go to buy food or necessary equipment, such as refrigerators, freezers, A/C units, and shelving as well as to keep the pantry operational with electricity and water.

I Want to Volunteer

We always welcome new volunteers and will train you on the job. Volunteers are crucial to the success of the pantry and there are many ways to serve – greeting clients, helping distribute food bags, assisting with paperwork, receiving, sorting and packing donated items for distribution and even breaking down boxes for recycling.  The volunteer tasks are easy to earn and we love to help you get involved.  We also have opportunities to serve on days other than Mondays or Thursdays  – making sandwiches, picking up donations from local restaurants, grocery stores, and churches or packing supplemental food bags.  Please submit this application and we will get in touch with you.

You can also help by organizing a food drive at your business, organization or neighborhood.
