food pantry

This summer has been busy at the Ardmore Food Pantry. In June we fed 226 family members, July's total jumped to 574, not to be outdone August finished with serving 780 families!! So we are VERY appreciative of donations - food and cash -while always looking for assistance. A big thank you to all volunteers for a GREAT job during these HOT months - we all know how hot the kitchen can get! Whether helping to pack food, stock shelves, pick & wash produce, care for the gardens or donating, you are really appreciated!!!! Also a special thank to Oakmont Farmers market vendors; Lindenhof farms for donating fresh eggs & frozen meats, & Lime Valley Farm for the yummy organic produce.

Please remember your neighbors at the Ardmore Food Pantry. We are low on food items especially at the end of the month and the first week of a new month. Volunteers are welcomed.

We also appreciate any SURPLUS VEGETABLES from your gardens!

Any items can be brought during the opening times--Mon. and Wed. 9:30-11:30, and Thurs. 6:00-8:00. Or can be dropped off at the back of St. Mary's church on Sunday between 9:30-10:30 before/during Mass.

Thank you!

The Ardmore Food Pantry began as the St. Mary's Episcopal Church emergency food cupboard. As a result of the weakening economy, there was more demand, and the Ardmore Food Pantry officially opened on 10/5/09. It is located in St. Mary's parish hall (36 Ardmore Ave.) and staffed by community volunteers.
