About This Pantry
To give food to families living in the East Syracuse-Minoa school district. We distribute food according to the Food Bank of CNY. We are a client choice pantry. This means that you select what you want from 3 major food groups that we have, Fruits & Vegetables including fresh and canned fruits and vegetables, Meats & Proteins, including meats, cheese, tuna, & beans, etc., and Grains which include cereals and pasta. The number of food you can select is based on the number of people in your household. We also have extra items that do not fall into these groups i.e. snacks, soup, coffee, personal items: shampoo, deodorant, dish & laundry soap, paper towels, toilet paper, and tissues. A bonus we do is the Food Bank of CNY has cooking demonstrations on Tuesday nights we are open and we supply the food necessary to be able to cook that meal at home. At Easter we distribute Ham dinners and on Thanksgiving we distribute Turkey dinners. At Christmas we distribute gifts to children up to 18 years old.
