No Expired or Homemade Goods
Most food pantries will allow expired goods. At Eden’s Table we’re intentional about making those we serve feel special and not left overs from what we didn’t use, forgot about or a hand out.
Exceptions
If the food is close to expiring please donate it and we’ll place it for immediate delivery to someone in need.
If you are giving to us with 48 hours notices and or for a special holiday, event or campaign.
The items are freshly made and the ingrediants list will be provided so we can avoid donating to anyone with food allergies.
