Become A Pantry Partner

Currently, we are not accepting applications for new partners in order to prioritize inventory for our existing partners who are experiencing increased demand. However, we remain committed to addressing unmet needs across our 35-county service area. If your program is helping to fill a gap in local food access, we welcome the opportunity to learn more. While we may not be able to approve all applications immediately, our network is dynamic and continues to evolve with community priorities, and future partnership opportunities may become available. We also encourage organizations to explore collaboration with existing food distribution programs in their area, as this can be a valuable avenue for accessing additional resources and expanding impact. Our Partnerships Team is happy to facilitate those connections whenever possible, so please don’t hesitate to connect with us using the contact information above.
