As the year comes to a close, there's still time to make your end-of-year gifts:
💵 Monetary gifts can be made on our website, by mail, or dropped off during our open hours.
🛒 Food donations like canned proteins, soups, stews, boxed meals, pasta, and other shelf-stable items are greatly appreciated.
🧼 Personal care items (shampoo, soap, deodorant, toothpaste, etc.) are also in high demand.

💚 We are so grateful for the generosity of our community. Every gift, of any size, helps a neighbor in need.

Monetary donations go a long way at Emily Food Shelf allowing us to buy in bulk at wholesale prices. You can also donate food from your household, business or farm! We can accept your canned, dry, refrigerated and frozen food. Please see our food donation guidelines.
