How to donate
Food donations can be dropped off at Aurora Food Pantry (1110 Jericho Road) between 8:00am and 3:00pm, Monday through Friday. Please come to the front door of the pantry and a staff member will direct you to one of our loading docks. (We’ll help you unload, so feel free to leave the food in your car!)
