ABOUT US

Welcome to the on-line home of Food Pantries for the Capital District.

Established in 1979, Food Pantries for the Capital District is a coalition of 50 food pantries working together, in a spirit of cooperation, to do together what no one of us could do alone. Our goal is to eliminate hunger in our neighborhoods.

  Our mission is to serve hungry people in the Capital District through member food pantries. We support our pantries by purchasing, collecting, and delivering food. We provide a forum for networking, coordination of efforts, education, and training.  We are a voice for those who are hungry.

Our member food pantries are located in churches and community centers throughout Albany and Rensselaer Counties.  All who come to them in need will be provided with enough groceries to last 3-5 days.

            As an agency that relies on volunteer support, we are committed to including the gifts, talents, and interests of volunteers into the work of the coalition.

We never charge our member pantries for the services that we provide!!
