​We are committed to helping those in need in our community. We rely on grants, subsidies and support from the United States Department of Agriculture, the Food Bank of Central New York, and other charitable groups and government organizations. We also rely heavily on local support from businesses and individuals in the community.

Keeping our pantry running requires thousands of dollars and thousands of pounds of food each month. Regular monetary donations and contributions of food from the community are our lifeblood. We could not function without this support.

Volunteer
Although we receive support from the government and community, our pantry is run entirely by volunteers.

​From ordering food, sorting donations and unloading food trucks, to handling paperwork, filling orders and restocking shelves, we rely on volunteers to make things happen.

Our volunteers represent a diverse group: working professionals, craftsmen, young people and retirees all come together to help out.

Some volunteers help every week. Others give their time once a month. Many enjoy socializing with like-minded people dedicated to improving their community.

Whatever amount of time you can give, we are more than willing to train and welcome you.

To inquire about volunteering, visit our volunteer page or contact Martha Sturtz, 315-963-3117.
