Helpful tips to consider for your grocery donation:

  • Please check expiration dates; we are unable to accept expired items.

  • We cannot accept opened or partially used items, or any home-canned goods.

  • Costco-sized refill containers of dish soap and hand soap are difficult to repackage; please consider donating smaller sizes.

  • Diapers are repackaged, so any package quantity is appreciated.

  • We welcome fresh food donations, but they must be arranged in advance with the food pantry director.

Food Insecurity in the Orange City Area

The overall food insecurity rate in Sioux County is 5.9% according to Feed America. Although there are SNAP benefits and other food assistance programs, many individuals are not eligible or have continuous needs that surpass these benefits, leaving many hungry. The Orange City Food Pantry serves people living in the Sioux County communities of Alton, Granville, Hospers, Maurice, and Orange City as an emergency food source.
