In Kind Donations
One way to support St. Felix Pantry is by donating food. 100% of donated food goes to those in need in our community. Generous community support means St. Felix Pantry has NEVER turned anyone away without food!
All donations are sorted by our staff and volunteers – and we pride ourselves on never serving rotten or inedible food. Using USDA Guidelines, we provide a balanced, nutritious, and high-quality selection of groceries for our guests.
We are also proud to offer fresh produce to our guests throughout the year. St. Felix Pantry partners with local farmers and backyard enthusiasts to provide in-season produce which is full of essential vitamins and minerals.

Can I organize a food drive for St. Felix Pantry?
Yes! We can only do what we do because of generous community support – and food drives help keep our warehouse stocked. St. Felix Pantry can provide you with bins, signage, and promotional ideas! We love sharing stories of community support on our social media channels, so we’d love to feature your drive if possible!
