Dobbs Ferry Pharmacy Information

We rely on charitable donations to feed the 100+ families that rely on us. Ultimately, we hope to help ease the burden of those in need by providing them with the food they need to help them focus on the futures they want. The Dobbs Ferry Food Pantry at South Presbyterian Church opened its doors in January 2011 in response to the growing demand for food assistance in Dobbs Ferry, New York as well as people from the neighboring villages of Ardsley and Irvington. We also serve the hungry in Greenburgh. However, the Pantry is open to and serves everyone who expresses need, regardless of religious belief, affiliation or income level. The church currently provides the space free of charge. Our staff is 100% volunteer, so all of the money donated to the pantry is used to purchase items that go directly to those who need assistance.

We are also open the last Wednesday of every month from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The South Presbyterian Church sponsors the Food Pantry as an offshoot of its Hunger Ministries.
