Bethesda House Food Pantry is open the second and third Tuesdays of the month for Schenectady County Residents. In addition, the pantry operates Monday thru Friday on a crisis need basis. Residents are able to utilize the pantry six times a year. We provide a “Consumer Choice” menu. Guests receive three days worth of food per family member, including: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our guests are able to choose meals from each food group so that the dietary needs of families are met. We at Bethesda House believe that food is only nutritious if you eat it!

There is an on-going demand for the following items: non-perishable food items such as: canned fruits, vegetables and soup, tuna fish, mash potato and pancake mixes, syrup, macaroni and cheese, pasta, rice and cereal.
