Food Pantry

Our Food Pantry helps feed hundreds of individuals every month. Assistance available by appointment during the week. Please call 845-877-9076.

The Center of Compassion Food Pantry, Dover, NYWe recommend appointments, as opposed to walk ins, to insure that there will be a food pantry staff member available to assist you.

Our food pantry provides a private environment that respects your privacy and acknowledges how difficult it is to ask for assistance.  Whenever possible, we offer “Client Choice”, where you can pick brands that you want – the options are not all decided for you.

The face of hunger is ever changing – our clients include single people, couples, parents with children, senior citizens, men, women, young and old, those struggling to get by on Social Security, the unemployed or under-employed, veterans, the sick and handicapped who cannot work, as well as those who just can’t make ends meet.   All have one thing in common; they are hungry.

The food pantry is staffed by our great volunteers and is supported by donations from private individuals, a grant from The Regional Food Bank of The Hudson Valley, the parishioners of our local churches, schools and organizations, and by corporate sponsors. All donations to the food pantry may be tax deductible.

"I know God is very pleased... He sees how this center has helped the many poor people such as widows living on a set, low income, mothers of children whose husbands have abandoned them, the immigrants in the neighborhood and people with disabilities... I see God's hands, feet, ears and love at work here. It is called compassion... I thank God this ministry continues and that His will shall be done as always in this community."
