Join Our Summer Food Drive and Help Restock Our Pantry Shelves

Every week, neighbors walk through our doors in Wilmington and Middletown looking for a little help with groceries. Maybe it's a parent whose hours got cut, a senior whose medication costs went up, or a family dealing with an unexpected expense. Our food pantries have always been there when times get tough. But right now, we're running critically low on essentials at both locations. Donations haven't kept pace with the growing number of people who need support. In order to keep up, we need more food coming in on a regular basis.

What's Needed Most

For those struggling to make ends meet, these pantries are a lifeline. And it's the kindness and generosity of others that makes it all possible. Without the support of our friends and community partners, our ability to be there for our neighbors would be greatly diminished.

Making sure our shelves and freezers are stocked with the basics is crucial:

Protein Sources

• Tuna and assorted canned meats

• Canned beans

• Frozen meats (beef, chicken, pork, fish)

Meal Foundations

• Boxed meals (mac and cheese, tuna helper, beef helper)

• Pasta and sauces

• Rice

• Canned soups

Nutrition Essentials

• Cereal and oatmeal

• Frozen or canned fruits and vegetables

Personal Care Items

• Toothpaste and toothbrushes

• Soap, shampoo, and conditioner

This list is a starting point. Don't hesitate to donate other shelf-stable items you have available. And if you have questions, we're just a phone call away.
