Obtaining your food
- Our goal is to provide clients with one week’s worth of food per month during a one-time-per-month visit.
- We request that you call and schedule an appointment to visit the food pantry during the pantry’s scheduled open hours. This will ensure that clients will have a one-on-one visit with a pantry volunteer for an easy and streamlined pantry experience. Drop-in visits may only occur if urgently needed.
- One appointment per household can be made every thirty (30) days. We cannot schedule appointments any sooner than the required thirty (30) days.
- If you have any questions or if you need to cancel your scheduled appointment, please contact the Jamestown Community Food Pantry by calling us at 401-560-4080.

- Reselling or exchanging any item received from the Jamestown Community Food Pantry is strictly prohibited.
