Pantry Express
In January 2026, The River Food Pantry is moving to a brand new building at 3301 Packers Ave. Our last day for Pantry Express at our current location on Darwin Rd. is Dec. 20, 2025. Read the latest updates on how this transition will impact our programs.
-
Increase access by offering groceries on the weekend, and not collecting individual information.
-
Pantry Express does not count as a household’s weekly visit, meaning you can visit on Saturday and again during the week if needed.
-
To maintain efficiency, orders are pre-packed and we do not offer a menu.
Pantry Express choices vary and are more limited than groceries offered by The River during the week.
There is no registration. Pantry Express visits do not count towards existing clients’ weekly visits at The River.
This drive-thru service offers an assortment of groceries in a condensed, fast-paced format. Each order is pre-packed and includes dry goods, perishables, and frozen items. We are not able to accommodate special requests, such as diapers, pet food, or gluten free items. If you are seeking these items in addition to groceries, please visit The River during curbside distributions Tuesday – Friday, or call United Way at 2-1-1 for additional sources.
By offering a pantry session on the weekend that does not require registration, we are increasing convenience and accessibility for our community.
