🥚 Got Hens? Help Us Help Others! 🥚
The Woodbine Food Pantry is currently accepting donations of farm fresh eggs from local residents. If you’ve got laying hens and extra eggs to spare, we’d love to put them to good use supporting our neighbors.

Here’s what to keep in mind for safe egg donations:
✅ Collect eggs daily
✅ Gently clean any debris using a dry cloth or warm running water (no soap or detergent)
✅ Store eggs in the fridge right away — ideally below 40°F
✅ Please do not donate cracked or visibly dirty eggs

Your small backyard flock can make a BIG difference in a local family’s kitchen.
Drop-offs can be made during our regular pantry hours.

Community support makes a difference!

The Crew Center has been a donation drop-off spot for Woodbine Community Food Pantry items during their open hours, and now Food Land and Dollar General have drop-off locations too.

That means you can donate pantry items at any of these locations during their regular operating hours.

A big thank you to The Crew Center , Food Land , and Dollar General for helping make it easier for our community to support local families. Every donation helps stock the shelves and serve our neighbors.
