While thousands of pounds of food are donated each year, MFB&CC purchases a large portion of the food for our store using the generous monetary donations we receive throughout the year. We also partner with a number of local grocery stores and restaurants that donate fresh produce, bakery, deli, and meat items. Learn more about our Grocery Rescue and Food Circle Partners here.

Absolutely! We happily accept any store-bought or homegrown fresh produce donations for our store. If your summer crop yielded more than expected, we’d love to put those donations out in our store! Shopping at the Farmers Market? Donate right there in provided bins!

We do! We just need it to be commercially processed and within one year from the packaging date.

YES! Per the Health Department, we can accept and stock canned goods up to 2 years past their expiration date. For dry goods, we can accept and stock these items up to 1 year past their expiration date. Also, all donated items must be unopened and in their original packaging. If you have more questions on donating food, take a look at our Most Needed Items page.

Sadly, no. Health Department Regulations do not allow us to stock home-canned goods, as it is difficult to verify the contents, sterility, and freshness of goods canned at home.

Take a look at our Most Needed Items page to get you started. If you have any questions about your food drive, contact us here. Don’t forget to register your food drive, too!
