This pantry is amazing. They are so helpful and you literally drive through. But don't worry if you do not have a car then you can walk up as well.

Even though my friend and I arrived toward the end of distribution, we still received a large amount & variety of fresh food. The volunteers were kind & friendly, and it was a great experience!

How many times can i come there in one month

Mark Grooms | Oct 10, 2021
joyce brown | Oct 10, 2021

You can go every day if you like. We get there around 11 -1130 and wait in line in our cars. They come around to each car and get your info regarding each person in car who's family is in need. Today 3 of us went together and we got the same amount for each family. They're really awesome. Mon, Tues, and wed are the regular days. I'm so grateful for the help they all give at the Dayton food pantry.

Good morning Shannon. We will work with you to give you as much food as you can conveniently carry. The Drive Thru items vary each week, but it is always a mix of fresh protein, dairy, bread/bakery, and shelf stable foods. We recommend bringing large shopping bags and/or a rolling cart for the food items.

When do you pass out food in the Drive Thru?

I have a whole bunch of chips that are a few months past their expiration date. I feel bad about just throwing them out. Can I still donate them if they expired in Jan 2019?

Rachel Williams | Oct 11, 2019
Christine Hutchens | Oct 11, 2019

I would call them. That is a sell by date the chips are still basically good. I would also ask around at the shelters as well. You could also pull up outside of one of the shelters or soup kitchens and tell the actual people going there that the sell date is expired. People such as myself would be grateful for anything given to them.

I need the help of the foodbank, but very concerned about getting very out dated food and fresh food that is going bad already! Is this aloud? For example I went last week 2/8 was given some Star Wars chip snacks thebox says use before Nov 2018!

Victoria | Oct 11, 2019
Phil Smith | Oct 11, 2019

I had the exact same experience with the exact same product. However I did consume the snack and it was still fresh and tasted well. I experienced no issues. I think there might be some confusion about a sale date as opposed to a expiration date. I can't imagine that the food bank would knowingly and purposely distribute rotten food. I do know that it is important to consume the food you receive soon especially fruits and vegetables

How is food on west side helping east Dayton residents?many can't travel that far.. Funny story wdtn

John Runyon | Oct 11, 2018
Katrina R | Oct 11, 2018

The food bank itself doesn't give out food directly, it sources food in large quanties , therefore receive a discounted price for buying in bulk. Then agencies from around the Dayton area either come to the Foodbank or receive deliveries of food to distribute to individuals or families. So although they are located on the west side of Dayton, they impact the city of Dayton and surrounding areas. You can call the Foodbank to find an agency near you, and their respective hours of operation.
