We gratefully accept all kinds of food donations. Here are the items we are most in need of.
SO YOU'RE PLANNING A FOOD DRIVE
Great! Whether you are a group who has done food drives for us in the past, or a group organizing your first-ever food drive, we want to thank you and let you know how very much your efforts are appreciated. The Dublin Food Pantry depends on food drives conducted by area churches, schools, and service organizations to improve the quality and selection of food available to our families in need. Here are some tips to make your food drive go smoothly for you and for the volunteer staff at the Dublin Food Pantry:
PLEASE LET US KNOW WHEN YOU ARE PLANNING A FOOD DRIVE
It is helpful for us to know when organizations are planning food drives so that we do not have too much food all arriving at once. If you let us know you are having a drive, we can let you know what our current most needed items are. You may also want informational brochures or statistical information we can provide to help promote and build interest for your event.
PLEASE LET US KNOW WHEN YOU PLAN TO DELIVER YOUR FOOD
If you are sponsoring a very large food drive, this allows us to have volunteers scheduled to help sort and store your food donation. For smaller food collections, please follow the instructions at the drop off center at the Pantry for weighing and sorting your food. This only takes a few extra minutes of your time, but is a tremendous help in processing your donations.
PLEASE LET US KNOW WHO YOU ARE
When you drop off food, please be sure to sign the donation log so we will know who to thank for your generosity!
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT FOOD NEEDS ARE YEAR ROUND
We typically have many, many food drives in the fall, for which we are very grateful. This food allows us to provide for families for several months, as well as our generous "Harvest of Help" holiday food distribution. However, we still need food in the late spring and throughout the summer. Please consider helping us re-stock by having an additional food drive during these months.
