We are the Hopewell Valley Mobile Food Pantry! Started by HVRSD, YMCA, and the HV Community in 2020. Non-perishable donations can be left onsite. Main St.)

We are the Hopewell Valley Mobile Food Pantry. Formed at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic by leaders from HVRSD, Hopewell Township, Hopewell Borough, Pennington Borough and the HVYMCA, we work to address food insecurity in Hopewell Valley. We are an entirely volunteer run organization that collects, sorts, packages, and delivers groceries and fresh produce weekly to neighbors throughout the Valley. All assistance provided is confidential. Without the support of the entire Hopewell Valley Community, we could not serve our neighbors in need. We thank everyone who volunteers at the pantry, organizes a food drive, or donates food or money. We also thank our partners in service: The HVYMCA, HVRSD, Mercer Street Friends, Rolling Harvest, Howell Living History Farm, Four Seasons Produce and PQM. Your ongoing support is essential to our service. Note about donations:

A heartfelt thank you to St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church Sunday School for their continued support of the Hopewell Valley Mobile Food Pantry!

For nearly as long as the Pantry has been serving Hopewell Valley, the St. Matthew’s Sunday School has been showing up to support our neighbors. Their steady generosity over the years is a wonderful example of what it means to be part of a community that cares.

Thank you for hosting a food drive, donating much-needed items, helping stock the Pantry, and taking the time to learn more about food insecurity in our community. We are so grateful for your continued partnership and generosity!

It takes a village to feed the valley!

Happy Halloween! 🎃

There’s something a little scary about an empty pantry…

Every week, 570 grocery bags leave our Pantry. While we purchase many basic items, we rely on your generous donations to provide personal hygiene and household cleaning products, a variety of groceries, and healthy snacks.

Without your donations, we can’t provide these items to the neighbors who count on us.

Want to help? Drop off grocery donations in the large white bin at 425 South Main Street, Pennington.

For a full list of needed items and links to our Costco, Walmart, and Amazon registries, visit: hvymca.org/pantry
