As Thanksgiving Distribution is next week, a couple of important reminders for those receiving boxes.
1. You must bring your ID to pick up your Box.
2. If you are picking up for someone else (proxy) yu must have the proxy forms signed and completed AND a photo copy or picture of their ID.
3. IF you are getting a delivery, those are done on Thurs Nov 20. We start at 10am and go until we are finished, this can possibly be very late. We need you to BE HOME and ANSWER your phone. If you are not home to sign for the Box, it will be given to someone else.

At this time, Thanksgiving Sign Up for meal requests is closed. We have hit our max. Now we are in full swing of collecting the food and money to pay for the food. Anything we have left over will be given out at the Pantry the last 3 days before Thanksgiving Day.

Pantry279 is celebrating 10 years of serving our community. We started in a tiny church bus bay with nothing but a few shelves, a few hands, and a whole lot of determination. Ten years later, that little corner has grown into a lifeline for thousands of families each year.
To every volunteer, donor, partner, and neighbor who has stood with us along the way: you turned a simple idea into a powerful force for good. You’ve helped us move food, hope, and dignity into homes that needed it most.
Here’s to the first decade in the books, and to the next one waiting to be written. Thank you for believing in this work and building it right beside us. 🧡🥫

Gobblepalooza is heating up. We’re already at 900 turkeys on our way to 1,400, and this little turkey is cheering us on. The community is coming through in a huge way. Let’s keep it rolling so every family gets a full Thanksgiving table.

While we are NOT open for food, we do have some volunteers at Pantry Right NOW ( Sunday Nov. 9 ) so people can drop off donations until 8pm tonight. Please use front door during this time. Thank you! Please share!

We’re almost at max capacity for Thanksgiving sign-ups. If you or someone you know still needs to register, today may be the last day. Sign up here: pantry279.org/thanksgiving/receive-a-meal
With so many families counting on us, we’ll definitely need continued financial and food donations to cover everyone. But thanks to this amazing community, we’re making real headway. Every bit of help moves us closer to a full table for every home.

I know this will not be a popular post, but Health Dept says no dogs around the food, unless trained service dogs. Also, after yesterday's aggressive dogs and owners at the pantry, who were supposed to be service dogs, but were clearly not, I feel the need to post this. True service animals are very welcome at Pantry 279 , and while we love animals, for the safety of our staff and guests, and hygiene purposes, please understand and follow these requests. Thank you.
