Top Needs at Saints Peter and Paul Outreach & Food Pantry

Updated: April 14, 2025

Looking for a simple way to support your community? Donating items from our most-needed list helps us serve families, seniors, and neighbors in crisis throughout the Hamburg area. These are the essential items we're currently running low on:

  • Canned or jarred, this pantry staple helps families create hearty meals at home.

  • All types welcome: spaghetti, penne, macaroni, elbows, and gluten-free options are appreciated.

  • White, brown, or instant rice helps stretch meals and fill plates.

  • Boxed sides like mac and cheese, rice pilaf, and noodle packets make quick meals easier.

  • We gladly accept any brand of dry or canned dog and cat food.
    Dry food is repackaged into quart or gallon bags on-site to serve more families with pets.

  • One of our most frequently requested hygiene items.

  • Essential for household cleaning and food prep.

  • Tampons, pads, and liners are deeply appreciated.

    Please donate individually wrapped products when possible so we can divide them fairly between recipients.

  • Gentle baby bath products are needed for our youngest community members.

  • Another high-need item, especially for families with young children.

36 Pine Street, Hamburg, NY
