Milton Community Food Pantry

Feeding Our Neighbors in Need Since 2014

Important Announcement

Milton Community Food Pantry will begin to limit our service area.

 It is with regret that due to the fact that we have had a dramatic increase in the number of clients over the last few months, we are going to have to limit the districts we serve based on zip code.  Starting in January, 2025, we will only register and serve clients who live in Milton, 19968 and the following zip codes that border Milton:

Ellendale, 19941; Georgetown, 19947; Harbeson, 19951; Lewes, 19958; Lincoln, 19960; Milford, 19963.  We will provide any clients who live outside this area with a list of pantries operating closer to them.

As previously announced, starting in January we will be renewing registration for all our clients to ensure that our records are up to date.  Please be prepared to show us your current Delaware identification showing your current address.  We will also be updating the number of adults, seniors 65 and over, and children UNDER 15  for each family.   

We will rely on your patience and understanding as we go through this process.

Ribbon Cutting

Opening our Distribution Center

On Oct. 11, 2023 we celebrated the official opening of our new home, the Distribution Center. Visit the NEWS tab on our website for links to highlights of our Ribbon Cutting.

We are reaching out to you with the opportunity to continue to help us through donations for food, operating expenses and capital expenses to upgrade our other existing building.

Major campus improvement!

We have paved our driveway!  This will make distribution days much easier for all, and will improve our operations in all weather.

Many thanks to JD Asphalt, Inc.  You did a wonderful job!
