Senior Pantry

 

The Senior Pantry program was started in 1998 with funding from the Kent County Senior Millage.  There are currently three locations to receive our pantry services.  The pantries are open to Kent County residents who are 60 years of age and older who meet income requirements.  Clients may shop at the senior pantries up to twice per month, choosing from a variety of different food items equaling $30-$40 in groceries each visit. We ask a $1 donation for each visit.

Can my spouse and I both come to the pantry?

Yes, if both of you are 60 or over and meet the income requirements, you may BOTH shop at the pantry

 

How much does it cost?

We ask for one dollar (per person) every time you shop. It may not seem like much, but this donation is crucial for Senior Meals to continue serving Kent County.
