Our mission
For over 46 years, the Dublin Food Pantry has been providing food, hygiene products, and resources to individuals and families in our community experiencing food insecurity and hunger. The pantry serves multiple zip codes and counties within the City of Dublin and Dublin City Schools District.
Our CHOICE pantry allows families to have a dignified shopping experience with compassionate and exemplary customer service, choosing which items they want to take home. We strive to provide high-quality and high-quantity fresh produce whenever possible.
Our history
Originally called the Dublin Area Emergency Assistance Program (DAEAP), the Dublin Food Pantry was established in March 1976, when the Dublin Community Church received nonprofit designation to formally operate the pantry.
