Make a Monetary Donation

Did you know nearly 90% of our annual budget comes from donations? We rely on the generosity of the community to support our efforts to provide food to the hungry of Westfield. Food donations are always appreciated but we have limited storage space and can help more people with a monetary donation. Your donation is 501(c)(3) tax-deductible.

You can send a check made payable to: Westfield Food Pantry
