THANK YOU FOR DONATING!

Donations are the key ingredient for sustaining the West Johnston Food Pantry. We have a wonderful community that often thinks of our organization when they decide to host food drives at their work, church, school, and housing development. Without community donations, our shelves would be empty. A huge "Thank You" goes out to everyone in our community who has donated, you are all part of the family! We need to keep on collecting!

Donating to the West Johnston Food Pantry is easy!

Other ways to donate:

• We do accept monetary donations. Please contact Mrs. Amber Bryant at amberferguson@johnston.k12.nc.us to arrange for an in-person exchange. We are a listed non-profit and do carry a tax number.

• We also love to accept pre-paid Food Lion Cards. This allows us the flexibility to go to our partner and purchase food when our supplies are low.

Once you are ready to drop off any collected items, please email the WJ Food Pantry Director to confirm the time of donations for the week or to make other arrangements.

We generally accept donations between 3-3:30 on Tuesdays. We have volunteers to help unload at that time.

We also have a donation box set up on a table in front of portable #3 where you can leave your donation safely.
