We're Here For You

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 658-9385.

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.

Guiding Principles

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 regards everyone who walks in the pantry with the respect and compassion they deserve as fellow human beings.
