who we are

The Rochester Food Pantry is a community-oriented non-profit organization and equal opportunity provider.  Our all-volunteer group has been serving the food needs of Town of Rochester residents since 1992.  We provide three days of food, twice a month to those in need.  Those requesting assistance need to show identification of residency in the Town of Rochester or beyond if still within 12446 zip code.  

During 2023 we served more than 3850 individuals with food for nearly 35,000 meals as well as personal care and cleaning products as part of our regular program.  We also try to have pet food available as well.

This is a 30% increase in the number of households served from 2022, when we doubled our numbers
