Good Morning. Beginning 20 May 2020 the Pantry will be open for appointments two days each week. We will be available from 2-6 on Wednesdays and from 9-1:00 on Saturdays. You need to call 315-921-7925 or 315-642-5026 to schedule your pick up time.

Stay safe everyone. Thank you for your kindness.

MWR's Quest for Treasure ~
Welcome to the first ever Fort Drum Family and MWR Outdoor Photo Scavenger Hunt. A 5-day, self-paced, photo scavenger hunt to find the five treasures of Fort Drum Family and MWR. This quest is open to Soldiers and DoD ID Card holders of all ages.
Each day, a new clue will be given at the Family and MWR page in the form of a video! Following the video clue, your quest begins for the treasure! Follow all the clues to find the golden Family and MWR treasure for that day. Once you find the treasure, snap a selfie with it and post it as a comment on the dedicated post on the event page.
Once you have found all the golden treasures, you will be entered for a chance to win a GRAND PRIZE of a $200 Visa gift card and a weekend pontoon and two fishing rod rentals from Outdoor Recreation!
If you would like to join us on this quest, please be sure to click "GOING" on our Facebook Event.
Be sure to use the hashtag, and tag us in any other pictures you snap on your hunt!
Remember that safety is first! Always look both ways before crossing any streets or areas of traffic. Please observe social distancing at all times and respect fellow explorers.
