Donating to the Pantry

Keeping the pantry stocked relies on the generosity of community donors. Whether that is a few extra cans picked up on the way out of the grocery store, a school organizing a drive for peanut butter and jelly, or a company providing the funds to keep a single shelf stocked for the year, every meal makes a difference. Kids Against Hunger United has multiple drop sites throughout Marple Newtown to make donating easier. Scroll to the bottom of the page for our convenient locations.

Today one of the most expensive vehicles to operate is a shopping cart and more and more people are turning to their local food pantries for support. The list below represents items that Kids Against Hunger United’s Food Pantry always has a need for.

We ask that all items be recently purchased (not expired).  We prefer that items not be packaged in glass. Please contact foodpantry@kahunited.org with questions.

Donated food is vital to helping us provide food to those struggling to feed themselves and their families. Whether it’s a bag of groceries from your pantry, a food drive held at an office, or extras you got at the grocery store, donated food is an integral part of our mission and distribution. We rescue food from multiple companies ensuring that no food gets wasted.
