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.
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.
