Food Donations
At the Killarney & Area Foodbank, we are able to provide food through the generous donations of our local community. We gratefully accept food donations of nearly any type, provided that all items are unopened and in good condition. We invite those with a garden to consider contributing a portion of their harvest to benefit those we serve. In addition to food items, we also accept toiletries such as soap, shampoo, and laundry detergent, as we recognize that personal hygiene is just as essential as nourishment.
Food donations are generally accepted at our location Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., as well as through our conveniently placed collection bins located throughout the community. Alternatively, you may contact our Operations Manager at or to arrange a drop-off time. Every donation, regardless of size, makes a meaningful difference to those we serve. We are appreciative of the continued generosity and support of our community.

Grow A Row
If you grow a garden each year, we invite you to consider dedicating a row of fresh produce for donation, or if you find yourself with an overabundance of vegetables and are unsure what to do with them, please consider donating them to the Killarney & Area Foodbank. If you are interested, fresh homegrown fruits and vegetables are a wonderful and meaningful contribution.
Vegetables do not need to be washed before donating.

In-kind donations provide businesses and individuals with a unique opportunity to give back to the community by donating their goods or services in exchange for a charitable tax receipt. In-kind donations are particularly helpful in assisting with building maintenance and upkeep. We also welcome donations of shopping carts, small appliances, cookware, and similar items for our lending library.
