Silver Key relies on the generosity of businesses and our neighbors to keep our food pantry stocked. In addition to providing an emergency food pantry and offering special food boxes for seniors on special diets, Silver Key also uses donated food to add to commodity boxes, giving clients a more nutritious and varied diet and allowing them to stretch their food budgets even further. Silver Key clients also need a variety of personal items to help maintain good health. While donations are accepted M-F, 9 am - 4 pm, Fridays are best due to the availability of staff and volunteers to assist with unloading donations. Thank you for your partnership in making this community the best in the nation to age!
