Food donations
We aim to offer our clients healthy foods and food that they like. You can leave your donation in the bin outside of South Presbyterian Church, and for large donations email us at dobbsferrypantry@gmail.com, and we’ll arrange a time for you to drop off your donation at the pantry. Please do not donate expired food, packaged food that’s been opened, food in glass containers, and home-baked items. We welcome donations of diapers and baby wipes. 

Want to Host a Food Drive?
If you’re thinking about organizing a food drive, keep these tips in mind:

• Email us. We’re at dobbsferrypantry@gmail.com. Tell us when your food drive is and we’ll post the info on this site, and together we’ll pick a time for your group to deliver the food to the pantry. 

• Think healthy.  We welcome donations of beans, canned protein like tuna, low-sugar cereal, peanut butter, jelly, rice, pasta, spaghetti sauce, low-sodium soups, nuts, granola bars, and cooking oil. 

• Consider household staples. Toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, and dish detergent are necessities, and your donation helps our clients stretch their food budget further. 

• Matching Gifts
Some employers match employee donations to charitable organizations. If you need help navigating the matching gifts process, email us.

• Remember the Pantry in Your Will
Remembering the Dobbs Ferry Food Pantry in your estate planning helps to ensure that the pantry can provide food to the neediest families for years to come. Need help setting this up? Send us an email.
