We are so thankful for our donation from United Way of Adams County this week! We were recipients of part of the Stamp Out Hunger post carrier collection last Saturday. The donation filled our storage room! We are so thankful for such a significant donation towards our goal of blessing families in our area.

If you were signed up for a meal and did not make it today, please let us know so we can arrange a time to meet you. We also have a few more meals available if you missed sign ups and are needing a meal, please let us know.

Reminder. If you signed up for a Thanksgiving dinner, pickup is today at 1pm at the pantry. 🦃

November's pantry day will be the 12th. We are open from 4:30-6.

Thanksgiving box sign ups will be held that day, or you can message us to be on the box list. Box pickups will be on Sunday, November 23rd (this will be instead of the second pantry day due to the Thanksgiving holiday).

Our pantry is open to anyone who lives in the Payson school district. If it is your first time at our pantry, we do request verification of address. We do not ask for verification of income, we are available to any of our residents.

One distribution per household, and one member of the home must be present when picking up (not picking up for your home and another without special, approved, circumstances).

We provide milk, meat, and other non perishable foods as we are able to help our clients.

Please bring a bag if possible, though we try to have some on hand.

If you have any questions please let us know!

Are you looking for a way to give back over this holiday season? We are looking for families to partner with us to provide holiday meals with our pantry families. We will be providing Thanksgiving and Christmas meals to those in the Payson school district who request one. The meals cost about $40 each.

How can you help? If you would like to 'adopt' one of those meals, donations can be made by making a deposit into our account at Liberty Bank. You can also donate food items there as well. If you would like to mail a donation, our mailing address is:

Donations of any amount are appreciated. Funds collected before November 23rd will go to the Thanksgiving baskets. After the 23rd will go to our Christmas baskets.

Thank you so much for considering our pantry families this year!
