We strive to demonstrate the love of Christ by providing fresh food, grocery products and hygiene items to individuals and families in need in our community.

We collect, store, and distribute these goods on a weekly basis. Above all, we serve those in need with kindness, confidentiality, respect, and a smile.

THE RHINEBECK REFORMED CHURCH

FOOD PANTRY

WELCOMES FOOD, HYGIENE PRODUCTS & MONETARY DONATIONS

 

FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU!

To everyone in our community

who has generously donated much needed food and toiletry items,

as well as monetary donations and time as volunteers.

We are very grateful for all your support!

​

Food and hygiene item donations are always gladly accepted.

Please notify us beforehand.

You can call the church office at 845-876-3727,

send an email (office@rhinebeckreformed.org),

or send a message through the church website.

 

Thank you in advance

for your support and cooperation in following our guidelines!

 

OUR IMMEDIATE NEEDS ARE:​

• rice: brown/white in 1-pound bags

• cans of water-packed chicken breast

• cans of tuna

• shelf-stable milk: 8-ounce for kids

• fresh milk: half-gallons (regular, lactose-free, almond, or soy milk)

• evaporated canned milk

• soup: vegetarian and other

• pasta, cereal, crackers

• in addition to rice, other gluten-free products

​

HYGIENE ITEMS:

• toothbrushes

• toothpaste

• dental floss

• shampoo & conditioner

• deodorant

 

GUIDELINES: 

1. We cannot accept opened/used or repackaged food, undated or expired food, or warped/damaged items of any kind. (The Regional Food Bank is quite strict about what pantries can accept for our and our clients' safety.) 

2. Direct food purchases for the pantry -- brought from the grocery stores directly to the church -- are safer than taking the items into homes and then donating them.

3. Members of the congregation may donate food in the basket by the coat closet in Cordes Hall at their convenience.
