The Crystal Lake Food Pantry distributes donations directly to local families facing food insecurity in our community. Your contributions help provide nutritious meals for children, seniors, and families who might otherwise go without. The pantry serves hundreds of Ellington residents each month, with demand typically increasing during winter months. As a proud supporter for over a decade, we've seen firsthand how these donations make an immediate difference.

While we're primarily collecting food items for this drive, financial contributions are also welcome and can be made directly to the Crystal Lake Food Pantry through their website. Financial donations allow the pantry to purchase fresh produce, dairy, and other perishable items that can't be collected during food drives. Every dollar donated helps the pantry provide approximately 3 meals to community members in need.
