Our 3.500 square foot "Your Choice" Food Pantry supplies fresh, frozen, canned, and boxed food that equals at least three days worth of meals. We aim to offer a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and whole grains.
Recipients can visit the "Your Choice" Food Pantry twice a month, however, they can visit the Bounty Table at the front of our food pantry and choose free food items daily. All food is provided free of charge.
The Personal Care Closet, located inside our Food Pantry, offers families and individuals free items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and deodorant.
If you are unable to visit the People's Place, we invite you to view this Directory of Food Pantries in Ulster County assembled by UlsterCorps.
