The Pantry serves the residents of the City of Utica who meet The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) income eligibility requirement.
Typical clients include working families trying to make ends meet, people experiencing a temporary job loss, individuals whose SNAP (food stamps) benefits have been reduced, and senior citizens. Seniors often seek help because most are on a fixed income and are impacted by higher medication and health care costs.
As a private, nonprofit organization we depend entirely on donations from individuals, corporations, foundations and other strategic partners.
Hours of Operation:
Monday, Wednesday & Thursday 11am – 1pm
