What can I expect when I visit the Skaneateles Ecumenical Food Pantry
At your first visit, you will be asked to complete a form and provide basic information about your household (number of people, ages, dietary needs, etc.). This information helps determine if you qualify and how best to serve you and your household.
You will be assisted by volunteers who will help you select food and necessary items for you and your household. The pantry provided meals for individuals and each family member for three days.
All visits to the Skaneateles Ecumenical Food Pantry are free and confidential.
