New Distribution Information

January 2026 we are making changes to improve our service, as our volume of neighbors increases. We are requiring appointments for both our Thursday and Saturday distribution beginning this week. We are making the following updates in hopes of preventing frustration.
* If you arrive without an appointment, we will try to make one for you. If no
   appointment is available, you will be given a pre-packed box of food.
* If you arrive early, you will need to wait until your scheduled appointment
   time. If you are not able to do that, you can receive a pre-packed box of
   food.
* If you are late or miss your appointment we will try to give you one, if              available. If no appointment is available, or does not suit, you will receive a     pre-packaged box of food.
* If you have an appointment and are not able to come. Please call and             cancel so your time can be given to someone else.      

As we move forward, we will monitor the new process and make adjustments as needed.

Saubel's in Stewartstown accepts donations for the Pantry:

Saubel's Market of Stewartstown is periodically accepting donations to the food pantry. Check when you are there! Shoppers have the opportunity to donate non-perishable food items to the food pantry while they are checking out.  We are so thankful for the donations received. The neighbors who come to the pantry will be blessed by this community's kindness and generosity!

How We Serve:

Food distributions are held every other Saturday
at the the Stewartstown Food Pantry, located in the garage behind 10 Church St.
Access the pantry from the SUMC auxiliary parking lot at 8 Church St. Stewartstown, PA
 Anyone desiring assistance can receive food.
Those in need can enter the pantry and choose the foods, as well as cleaning and personal items, that are most useful to them.  Appointments are recommended to minimize wait time.  To make an appointment, fill out the contact form below or

How to Help

  • An easy way to help is to give unexpired, non-perishable food directly to the Pantry.  See our “Wish List” below for staples that we provide or items that we can use.
  • Partnerships with local food banks allow us to purchase food at tremendous savings.  Each $1 donated can provide four to six pounds of food for those in need.
  • As our pantry evolves, our volunteer needs are changing. Volunteers are needed to: collect, sort, pack, and distribute food, as well as keep our facility clean.  We need event planners and administrative volunteers to return calls. For more information see the Volunteers page and send us a message including your gifts and where you would like to serve - even if it is not listed!
