Giving money is the best way to support the pantry. OFP has no paid staff, so your donations aren’t paying for salaries.

We buy most of our food through our regional food bank (FeedMore WNY) at a deep discount, so your dollar goes much further here than at the grocery store. Every $1 you give lets us put about $14 worth of food on our shelves. Here’s a real example. One week this summer, we ordered a delivery of 5,051 pounds of food.  At grocery store prices, that food would have cost $9,619. FeedMore’s grants and partnerships covered most of the cost, so our out of pocket cost for that food was just $664.

FeedMore’s supplies vary throughout the year, so we sometimes use cash donations to buy what people ask for most, like milk and eggs, from local grocery stores.
