Summer can be one of the hardest times for families facing food insecurity — and the Ardmore Food Pantry needs your help.

As school lets out and household budgets stretch even further, the need for food assistance rises. We are currently in need of donations to help keep our shelves stocked for neighbors and families throughout the summer months.

Donations of nonperishable foods, toiletries, and household essentials are greatly appreciated. Every donation makes a meaningful difference and helps ensure that no one in our community goes without.

Together, we can care for our neighbors and strengthen our community. Thank you for helping us make sure everyone has access to the food and essentials they need this summer.

Mamma mia—we need your help!

The Ardmore Food Pantry is building out our Italian Night Essentials and we’re calling on our pasta-loving community to help us stock the shelves. Because let’s be honest—everybody deserves a dinner that feels a little like a hug from Nonna.

We’re dreaming of cozy, comforting, carb-forward goodness like:
• Pasta of every shape and size (bonus points for the fun shapes)
• Jarred pasta sauce, pesto, and Alfredo sauce
• Olive oil and Italian dressing
• Canned olives
• Croutons (for salads… or straight from the bag—we won’t ask questions)
• Parmesan cheese (because pasta without parmesan is just suspicious)
• Spices that make it sing: garlic powder, onion powder, basil, parsley

Right now, our pantry is feeling a little more plain noodles in a sad bowl than Sunday dinner at Nonna’s, and we’d love your help changing that.

Drop-offs are welcome 24/7 in our donation bins, and we absolutely love surprise food deliveries from Amazon, Giant, Target, Walmart, and other retailers.

Help us bring a little extra flavor—and a lot of comfort—to our neighbors’ tables. Bellissimo!

The Ardmore Food Pantry and St. Mary’s believe good food should never go to waste.

That’s why food rescue matters. Food rescue is the process of collecting fresh, edible food from restaurants, grocery stores, farms, and other businesses and redirecting it to local organizations and families in need instead of letting it end up in landfills. It helps fight food insecurity while also reducing environmental waste and greenhouse gases.

A heartfelt thank you to Trader Joe’s in Ardmore for helping make this possible through their continued generosity and support. Your commitment to our community is making a real difference for local families every day.

The Ardmore Food Pantry needs your help. Right now, our shelves are running low, and the need in our community continues to grow. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference for families who rely on the pantry for support.

We are especially in need of diapers, baby wipes, pasta sauce, cereal, pasta, condiments, and other everyday essentials — truly, we need it all. If you are able to give, please consider picking up a few extra items during your next shopping trip and helping us restock our shelves.

Together, we can make sure no neighbor goes without the basics they need. Thank you for supporting the Ardmore Food Pantry and the families in our community.
