The Blessing Box Micro-Pantry
“Take what you need. Leave what you can. Little becomes much in the Master’s Hand.”
Our Mission
Emanuel UCC “High Church” is dedicated to helping end hunger in the Doylestown area community by empowering neighbors to help neighbors. We invite all who need a little help to access food and personal care products at our self-service pantry available 24/7. We invite the community to also give if they are able to help keep our pantry running.
Our Blessing Box Micro-Pantry
Emanuel’s micro food pantry is located at the rear of the church near the garage at 16 Eastern Rd., Doylestown (near Silver Creek Metro Park at the intersection of Medina Line Rd. & Eastern Rd.).
Micro-Pantry Rules
The guiding principle of the micro pantry mission is the mantra: Take what you need, Leave what you can. We leave it to the neighborhoods and communities where the pantries are installed to keep them stocked. Likewise, in the interest of safety, we empower all volunteers to watch for and dispose of inappropriate non-food items, expired, and perishable food.
Please check out this list of appropriate items for donation and prohibited items:
-
Canned vegetables, soups, meats
Boxed dinners, pastas, rice
Shelf-stable milk, oil, peanut butter, egg substitute/powder
Fruit cups/sweet treats
Granola, cereal, oatmeal
Baking goods, spices, coffee, tea
Any other non-perishable, unopened food you can donate
Unopened and wrapped personal care items: diapers, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, feminine hygiene

Any and all medicine (regardless of condition)
