Dryden Kitchen Cupboard - Dryden, New York

Dryden Kitchen Cupboard - Dryden, New York Dryden Kitchen Cupboard is a volunteer-run pantry to help locals in need of food. Once a month, town of Dryden residents can receive 3 days worth of food.

Located at the back of the Dryden Presbyterian Church at 6 North Street in Dryden, NY. Our food pantry is organized and run by volunteers. It is mainly supported through community donations and is part of the Food Bank of the Southern Tier. Our normal hours are: Monday & Friday: 11am - noon; Wednesday: 5-6pm; Last Saturday of the month: 11am-noon. Major holidays and bad weather may affect our

schedule. The Dryden Kitchen Cupboard is able to accept donations of non-expired, non-perishable, undamaged, shelf stable foods in their original unopened container, as well as new hygiene products. Due to food safety standards with the Food Bank of the Southern Tier, we are not able to accept private donations of homemade or home-canned food, or food needing to be frozen or refrigerated. If you wish to donate a large amount of non-perishable food, please MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH US FIRST so that we can be sure that we have sufficient space to accept your generosity. Monetary donations are always accepted. Because our food pantry can purchase many foods through the Food Bank of the Southern Tier at a greatly reduced price, a donated dollar can go much further than what most individuals can purchase themselves at a store. The Food Bank of the Southern Tier is a Feeding America food bank that provides food to those in need through a network of pantries and programs. It is a non-profit organization that works to fight hunger in the Southern Tier region of New York state serving Broome, Chemung, Schuyler, Steuben, Tioga, and Tompkins counties. For more information about the FBST, go to: https://www.foodbankst.org/ If you wish to make a financial contribution to our food pantry, checks/cash can be sent to: Dryden Kitchen Cupboard c/o Dryden Presbyterian Church, PO Box 42, Dryden, NY 13053.
