The Cooperstown Food Pantry exists due to the generous support of our community.
Donating money is the most efficient way to help. We can make your dollar go a long way!
Donations are tax deductible. Please make checks payable to the Cooperstown Food Pantry and mail to us at 25 Church St Cooperstown, NY 13326 or donate online using the Donate Button below.
As a member of Feeding America, the largest hunger relief organization in the country, we have access to a wide variety of products. About 80% of what we distribute we purchase through the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York, in Latham.
Manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers and farmers donate both first quality food and personal care items, as well as discontinued product lines, overproduction and production flaws, mislabeling or shipping errors, cosmetic flaws, under-harvested or imperfect produce and code dated products. We purchase donated and salvage goods for 16 cents per pound. Other grocery items are offered at market wholesale prices. USDA products, which we also obtain via the regional food bank, are obtained at no charge. Feeding America estimates that we purchase about $10 worth of items for every dollar that we spend as a member of our regional food bank.
We accept contributions of all sizes on an ongoing basis, by mail with a check, and via drop off at the Food Pantry offices.
