The Ecumenical Food Pantry of Pike County

Friday was a beautiful day and evening. Busy Bees were setting up for the afternoon distribution with Key Food delivery while Price Chopper and Walmart donations arrived by other volunteers. The Community team #2 welcomed 22 families in the afternoon and another 12 families in the evening for a total of 34. Next week the St. Joseph's team will be on the porch. Pantry needs baked beans, salad dressing, ketchup, mustard and mayo.... Hope everyone enjoys the beautiful weekend and please stay safe. See more

Did you know 43% of Americans haven't gotten a single shot? Nearly 90% of those say they haven't gotten around to it. Here's a chance right here in Pike county to get vaccinated. Let's care for our community!

The Food Truck Returns! One more opportunity to take advantage of the Farmers to Family Food Box distribution. This distribution is made possible because of the efforts of Connie Harvey, Commander of American Legion Post 139 Milford, and her team of volunteers. See flyer for details.

Thank You to Our Delaware Run Delivery Team: Last Friday was a holiday, Jan. 1st, but that didn't stop the team from loading up their cars for the first delivery of the year to the Delaware Run apartments in Matamoras. Phyllis Fernandez carefully carries a large box to one of the cars and then the team, Phyllis, Cesar Bujosa, and Bob Ridley stop for a minute before leaving. Thank you Phyllis, Cesar, and Bob.

Happy Holidays to Pantry Volunteers from Nancy Potter. Thank you for ALL you do: packing boxes, being outside, carrying heavy boxes to cars in all sorts of weather, and doing it because you care about others. Thank you for being there to help. You are the best!

Our hearts are full of gratitude for the support of our community friends and partners. Hunger isn't selective, and the Covid-19 pandemic has shown us that anyone, at any time and in any circumstance could need a little extra help keeping food on the table. Thank you to our community for standing strong with us and our neighbors. We wish everyone a healthier, happier, and safer 2021!

Thank you, Rocco and Junior, and thank you to all the merchants and businesses who so generously support our pantry!

Hope, Love, Peace, and Joy are familiar themes during the Christmas season. Today we think of "hope" and how our pantry provides hope to our neighbors in need.
