Saranac Lake Grace Pantry

Next: Wednesday, April 1, 2026

Runs until Wednesday, January 27, 2027 (See all dates)

Time
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Grace Pantry provides household and personal care items as well as pet food for community members in need at no cost. This includes personal care products (shampoo, dental supplies, soap, deodorant…), baby care(diapers and wipes), cleaning products( laundry detergent, dish deterrent, cleaning supplies) and paper products (toilet paper and paper towels). These items are not eligible for purchase using SNAP food stamps. No other organization in Saranac Lake provides this service.

Grace Pantry, which operates with 15 volunteers, is open every Wednesday except on major holidays and very inclement weather conditions from 3:00-5:00 in the Baldwin House on Church Street, connected to St Lukes Episcopal Church. Besides Saranac Lake, families from Tupper Lake, Lake Placid, Bloomingdale, Vermontville and Gabriels have utilized Grace Pantry.

The monthly expenses for supplies at Grace Pantry average $2500 or more. As prices continue to rise, items like diapers, Depends, and incontinence pads are accounting for the greatest expense. On average almost all households utilizing Grace Pantry need both cleaning and adult and/or child hygiene products at each visit.

To have items on hand for families, Grace Pantry purchases items 3 times per month from the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York and weekly from the Dollar Tree and Sam's in Plattsburgh. Community members and faith groups continue to make product and monetary donations. Grace Pantry relies on these donations and actively applies for grants every year from the Carpenter Foundation, the Cloudsplitter Foundation, the Adirondack Foundation, the Stewart's/Dake Family and the Rotary Club of Saranac Lake.
