For the safety of our staff and clients, as of Monday March 22, 2021, the Cooperstown Food Pantry will be open Monday and Wednesday from 10am to 6pm, Tuesday and Friday from 10am to 4pm, and Saturday from 10am to noon. We remain closed on Thursday until further notice. Currently, clients are not permitted to enter the pantry. You will be asked to wait outside while your food and supplies are packed and brought out to you. To save time you may call us while we are open at 607 547 8902 to place an order over the phone. Fresh Recovery produce or bread is available. You may see a change in what we distribute based on what is available to us. We do not have a delivery service at this time.

*Beginning in 2019 on delivery days we open at 1pm. This is to ensure the safety of both our clients and volunteers. Thank you.
