Pantry Information
The Mendon pantry is stocked with donated and purchased food. We have a vast assortment of shelf-stable items. Mendon residents in need may come once a month by appointment to select items, or they may complete an order for representative offerings. Once an order is filled clients will be contacted to pick it up. Call Janet Hubener at 508-478-6175 to make an appointment.
Deliveries are made for qualifying seniors or disabled persons who do not have transportation or are physically unable to come to the pantry. The Mendon Food Pantry is available to assist Mendon residents in need who receive fuel assistance, SNAP (food stamps), are unemployed, and/or receive aid to dependent children or to those who are disabled and/or unemployed. Referrals from area churches, social agencies, or concerned citizens regarding seniors and families in need will also be accepted. Client names shall be kept confidential. Please call 508-478-6175 for assistance.
Donations
Donations of non-perishable food products are accepted. Please check Expiration dates. The condition of packages will be checked for suitability. Items that have expired dates, dented or damaged cans, or open packages will be discarded. Food donations may be dropped off during center hours, preferably 9 am-3 pm. Monday through Thursday, or may be dropped off at the Mendon Post Office after hours/weekends at the Senior Center drop box located in the gazebo.
Monetary donations (preferably checks) are accepted, made payable to the The Town of Mendon with Food Pantry written in the memo line. Gift Cards to BJ's also help us to replenish pantry stock. Any donations may be mailed to the Senior Center address. Monetary donations are also used to purchase gift certificates for eligible recipients at local supermarkets. Please notify the center should you need a receipt for your donation.
Thank you for your generosity!
