Welcome to the Mexico Food Pantry. We serve men, women and children  living in the Mexico Central School District. We are committed to helping those in need.

Poverty and hunger are always prevalent in our community, but in recent years we have seen the need in our community skyrocket. Working families in particular are increasingly finding themselves among the hungry. Many families are forced to lead a fragile existence, routinely facing difficult choices, such as whether to pay for food and rent, utilities or healthcare. 

In 2017, the Food Bank of Central New York conducted a study to better understand who accessed emergency food agencies in its service area and why.

The Mexico Food Pantry offers a variety of foods. Click here for a menu of items.
