How does this work? Visiting our pantry for the first-time may be overwhelming, confusing, and scary. Our volunteers will answer any questions you may have, but reading through these frequently asked questions may put your mind at ease before arriving.
Hours
FOR DONATION DROP-OFF ONLY - Tuesday and Thursday from 10 am to 1 pm
Food Distribution is every Friday from 4:30 - 6:00 pm
Weather related issues may cause us to move the date or time of the pantry. This information will be communicated to those who have signed up on our mailing list as well as posted on our website and on our social media channels.
DO NOT ARRIVE EARLY! Because we share our space with New Milford Public Schools, they have staff in the building until 4:30 pm. Early arrivals cause traffic challenges to those staff members trying to leave.
We have enough food for everyone. If you arrive more than 15 minutes before opening time, you will be asked to leave and return later.
