Ways to Donate
The majority of Food Pantry funds come from individuals, families, churches, schools, and organizations in the Geneseo area. Additional funding is provided through:
- Ice Cream Social
- Grants
- Memorials
- Bequests
Food donations can be made anytime during business hours. We will also take frozen items. Please check expiration dates.
Clothing donations can be made anytime during business hours. We take any new or gently used clothing but have a huge need for children’s clothing. Because of our space limitations, we ask that you limit your clothing donations to 3 bags or boxes per day. We do not take leftover garage sale items. We also take household items such as kitchen utensils, small kitchen appliances, glassware, pictures, knick knacks, etc.
The Food Pantry no longer accepts any furniture items. We have had to close our storage unit due to unforseen circumstances. We ask that you PLEASE DO NOT leave furniture or any donated items on our front porch or dock. The Salvation Army, phone 563-323-2758, will come to your house to pick up items you wish to donate.
In addition to food and clothing donations, we accept
