The Blue Door Pantry is open Tuesdays from 9:30 by appointment to help you fill your shelves.
The Blue Door Pantry is always a busy place. Friends gather, and “shop” for much needed grocery items and gently used clothing. We are always grateful for financial and food donations to help keep the shelves stocked! For each appointment that you come to, you will NEED to bring photo identification for all living in your home as well as proof of income. Please note: The entrance is through the Blue Door at the back of the building.
Food Pantry
Through generous donations, The Blue Door Food Pantry holds with a wide range of family needs.
Summer is here, its hot and hunger does not take a holiday. The need for nutritious food is still growing. Hungry, playing tummies need food. Growing minds need nourishment and the cost of food at the grocery store is appalling. The number of people needing assistance has grown at a very frightening pace. In 2023 we assisted close to 11,000 people. This number is shattering! This year we are on track to assist close to 25,000! Our families are hungry and the Food Pantry is very low on: Cereal, Juice Boxes, Canned Vegetables and Canned Fruit, Canned meats of all kinds, Dry Pasta, eg. Macaroni & Spaghetti, Cookies, Toothpaste & Toothbrushes Bar Soap and ALL Toiletries. If you are able to add one or two of these items to your shopping list and donate it to the DC, our clients are always deeply appreciative. OUR FAMILIES NEED YOU.
