FPCP is Home to the Philipstown Food Pantry!
Every Saturday morning, your local Food Pantry goes into action right here at First Presbyterian Church of Philipstown! From 9 - 10 am, our church becomes the front line in the fight against hunger in our community. The Food Pantry is a dependable, weekly source of supplemental grocery supplies to families in need. This FPCP mission started 30+ years ago on our pastor's porch and continues to grow, thanks to support from local residents, businesses, and faith communities. Food insecurity is a serious problem in our area, and more than 50 local families are registered at the Food Pantry. They come each week to "shop" for nutritious foods, including fresh seasonal produce from the Inspiration Garden on our church lawn as well as fantastic partners like Glynwood, Foodtown, and Vera at the Philipstown Farm Market! |

You can help fight hunger in our community by supporting the Philipstown Food Pantry. Here's how:
(1) Volunteer! Lend a helping hand at the Philipstown Food Pantry on a Saturday morning. Join us in setting up the pantry. We'll provide assistance to those needing help or searching for a particular item. When the Food Pantry closes, we work together to put away the food that is left and to refill the Food Pantry carts for the next week.
(2) Donate food! The Food Pantry is always very happy to have receive donations of fresh, frozen, packaged and canned foods to supplement grocery supplies for the families we serve. Contact us with any questions about helpful food items to contribute. And: Please "like" the Philipstown Food Pantry's Facebook Page! We often post about food items we especially need. You can also send messages, or make a financial contribution (see below!).
(3) Sponsor a Food Drive for the Pantry! Is your child or grandchild a member of a youth group, such as Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, a 4-H club, a sports team, a confirmation class, or a bar/bat mitzvah class? A Food Drive is a fantastic project for youth or school groups seeking ways to provide a community service. We love to collaborate with youth groups! Contact us for more information, and we will be glad to help. You can email us at 1presbyterian@gmail.com, or you can also message the Philipstown Food Pantry on Facebook.
(4) Make a financial contribution! The Food Pantry is a nonprofit organization and a mission that is completely run by a small group of wonderful, hard-working, dedicated volunteers. Your financial donations help us keep the Pantry shelves stocked and our mission running smoothly to better serve local families in need. Making your tax-deductible contribution is easy! Just use the gold "Donate" button on the top of this page, or make an online donation to the Pantry by clicking the "donate" button on the Philipstown Food Pantry's Facebook page.
(5) Help us renovate our kitchen to support Food Pantry operations year-round! FPCP is currently raising funds to help us complete a major renovation to our community kitchen in 2019. Plans include new and better shelving for Food Pantry goods, as well as improved work surfaces, flooring, lighting, and appliances.
