We understand that not everyone is able to come in and volunteer with us during the week or donate financially, however if you would like to help us in other ways, we would love the following types of support! We are always in need of the items listed below:
- Canned good (i.e. meats, sauces soups, fruits, vegetables, jams)
- Shelf-stable items that are rich in nutrients and vitamins, are especially desired
- Dry goods (i.e white rice, pasta, oats, ramen, cereal, mashed potatoes)
- Individually packaged items like pastas, 1 pound bags of rice or beans, boxed potatoes, etc.
- Unfortunately, we are unable to repackage and distribute bulk items such as a 50 pound bag of rice
- Feminine hygiene products
- Brand new, unopened, and unused boxes of pads, tampons, and liners
- Warehouse supplies (sharpies, dry-erase boards, white masking tape, blue masking tape, small boxes, packing tape)
- We are often able to utilize these items even if they are gently used or opened
To ensure that we are able to share what we receive with our clients, we recommend that food drives be limited to a single food type, for example focusing on collecting canned soups, or rice etc.
Please email volunteer@thepantry.org for further information, mahalo nui loa for your consideration!
