Food Pantry Openhouse!
Join us on Saturday November 12 for the Annual Rosendale Food Pantry Openhouse.
It will be 9-2 at the pantry on 45 James Street. New this year: games for kids! Only one nonperishable food or $.50 donation to play. Call 399-7997 or nsnyder9@yahoo.com for more info.
We're open every Monday 9 AM - 1 PM and every Saturday 10 AM - 12 PM.
Our mission is to help families with emergency food needs.
If you need supplies, please call us at 399-7997.
Much like other area food pantries, non-perishable food items are the bulk of what is distributed. The pantry also offers bread when available, toiletries, baby care items, and gifts during the holidays.
The Rosendale Food Pantry is unique in its delivery. Our guiding principles are RESPECT and COMPASSION. These values pervade all interactions and decision-making.
A small, tight-knit volunteer staff treats everyone who walks in the pantry with the respect and compassion they deserve as fellow human beings.
You can help by donating the basic living necessities listed on this page. No donation is too small.

The Rosendale Food Pantry is collecting school supplies to distribute. We usually don't get into the business of providing "extras" outside of food but the school supplies have gone over well the past couple years and I'd like to offer them again. There are fantastic sales right now, whatever you can donate would be appreciated. We serve families with children of all ages and adults in college. Some ideas:
- backpacks
- lunch boxes
- pens
- pencils
- erasers
- sharpeners

- calculators
- pencil boxes
- colored pencils
- crayons
