Cortland County food pantries.
The food pantries in Cortland County are open limited hours. They are also not able to help everyone due to limited resources. But residents of the community can ask for referrals, as there are a number of other food banks, soup kitchens, and other charity programs in the region. Some of what may be provided includes the following.
- Pantries may have items such as baby formula, peanut butter, rice, pasta, juices, free diapers, and much more.
- Applications and linkage is given to New York government aid including SNAP food stamps or the Summer Food Service Program for children.
- Special seasonal holiday programs, including Christmas meals, toys, and gifts.
- Cortland food pantries may also have basic needs such as clothing, soap, paper products, and free household supplies.
Generally, anyone seeking help from a pantry needs to be either on a low income and/or in a crisis. The client may not only be given a free box of groceries, but staff will try to enroll the person into a relevant case management program. So there are many resources available in Cortland County New York.
