Our Needs

Every week, hundreds of families come through our doors. As a result, our physical stock fluctuates along with the needs of our clients. Take a moment to see what we currently need to keep our shelves fully stocked.

The Haymarket Regional Food Pantry is grateful for your donations of food and needed supplies. When donating items to the food pantry, please check the expiration dates, and donate unopened items in their original packaging.

Expired, open, or unlabeled items CANNOT be distributed, and will be discarded!
