For many who are experiencing difficult times, the Fuquay Varina Emergency Food Pantry is a vital provider of food and personal care items. This means that the number of people depending on us is likely to grow as our population increases. Each month we see new clients. We have yet to turn one person away who is in need of food. However, we need your help to continue to meet this growing need. You may support our efforts by making a donation of food, personal care products or money.
FOOD:
Food drives are a great way to give back and to build community spirit. We have been fortunate to have many local businesses, scout troops, the fire department, churches and private parties collect food for our pantry. We have also had individuals and local grocers who make food donations and we are forever grateful for such a supporting community. As the number of those in need increases, however, the need for support increases proportionately. We always have a need for canned and dry goods. Since we serve a large number of elderly clients, we also like to receive donations of Ensure or Boost.
Donations of food can be delivered to the food pantry during our operational hours:
Tuesday between 9:00 a.m. and 11:45 a.m.
or Thursday between 3:00 p.m. and 5:45 p.m.
