Food Pantry - Hillside

The pantry began in 2020 as an “Out of School Lunch-Box Program” for the community. It provided emergency food support to families with school children, supplementing grocery trips with children’s breakfast, lunch and snack food items.

 

Today, we offer a once a month drive-thru food pantry to over 100 families, where all food is received, rescued, and re-distributed by volunteers. 

 

In 2022, Put Your Hands Together:

  • Kept 950,000lbs of food out of landfills

  • Rescued and redistributed 949,863lbs of food

  • Served 1,424,795 meals   

  • Averted 20,000+ metric tons of CO2eq

 

100% Volunteer based Food Outreach

Program Funding primarily comes from Foundation Grants,

Corporate Giving and Private Donors. 

 

The pantry begins at 11:00 a.m. on the second Saturday of each month, all year long.

No one turned away until we run out of food.
