Donate Food

Thank you for helping feed our community! We accept donations of nonperishable food, personal care items, and household cleaners.  We do not accept expired, perishable, opened, or damaged items.

Place your donation in the purple donation bin on the loading dock at the back of our building (341 W Central St., Franklin, MA). Please do not leave items elsewhere on the property.

Items we most need are listed on the Current Pantry Needs list and Amazon Wish List. The Recalled Food button allows you to check if a product is safe to consume.

Below is a list of items we do not accept. Please do not leave these items at The Pantry or they will need to be thrown away which increases our disposal costs:

• Expired, opened, or damaged items
• Perishable items (including fresh or frozen turkeys and garden produce)
• Homemade food or leftovers
• Baby food or baby formula
• Medications or vitamins (including over-the-counter)
• Clothing or furniture (or anything other than food, personal care and household cleaning items)
• Alcohol or tobacco products
• Mouthwash (or other products containing alcohol)

If you have questions on which items we accept or do not accept, please email info@franklinfoodpantry.org.
