Every summer, the Shelbourne Community Kitchen sees an increase in families accessing their food support services, but this is also a time when supplies of non-perishable food donations are at an all time low. With the current cost of food and inflation, we are registering an average of 50 new people each month.
Let’s work together this summer to keep healthy food accessible for hundreds of low-income families in our community! As we prepare for all the fun adventures that await us this summer, let's fill the Pantry Program’s shelves with healthy food that our members can rely on this season.
Our Shelbourne Community Kitchen team would like to invite you to participate in our 2024 Summer Stock Up Food Drive Campaign!
Starting in early 2024, we began the installation of our long awaited commercial kitchen. Despite our facility being under renovation, we have continued to provide over 400 grocery hampers to our participants each month, as well as offering a variety of food skills and gardening programming.
The Kitchen's most needed items:
- Canned Fish and Meat
- Peanut Butter
- Canned Beans
- Canned Fruit and Vegetables
- Instant Meals
- Pasta and Pasta Sauce
- Granola Bars and Cereal
- Juice and Herbal Tea
- Rice, Oats, and Grains
Please continue to put these needed items in the basket in the church or the basket beside the office and we’ll deliver them to the Shelbourne Community Kitchen.
