Food Donations

The Food Bank welcomes donations of all perishable and non-perishable, unopened food as well as personal care items and household cleaning products.

Donations can be dropped off at our warehouse store in Stamford. If your donation is too large to drop off (more than 4 boxes of food), we may be able to pick up the food.

In deciding what food to donate, a good rule of thumb is to donate the same food that your own family would eat.

The following is a list of the most needed food items:

• Breakfast Cereals
  
• Instant Oatmeal
• Pasta
  
• Jarred Pasta Sauce
  
• Apple Sauce
• Juices (Bottles & Boxes)
  
• Shelf Stable Milk
• Peanut Butter
  
• Jelly (Grape & Strawberry)
  
• Progresso Soup
  
• Campbell's Chunky Soup
• Macaroni & Cheese
• Dried Beans (1 lb Bag)
  
• Fruit Cups
• Rice - White or Brown (1 lb Bag)
• Canned Protein (Tuna & Chicken)

The Food Bank is a non-profit entity. Your contribution of food is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by federal law. 

Feel free to call The Food Bank at (203) 358-8898 if you have any questions.

Operation and donation drop off hours are:

Monday - Friday 8:00am - 3:00pm
