Our Mission
Our Mission, simply stated, is to feed people. We provide emergency food assistance to people in need who live or work in Otsego County.​
About Us
With a 100% volunteer staff, the OCFP provides food through donations, grants, fundraising, and business partnerships.
The OCFP is directed by a board represented by local churches and members of the community at large.
Our History
The Otsego County Food Pantry started over 25 years ago in a church basement in response to community need and committed to being a completely volunteer-run effort. From these modest beginnings, the pantry has expanded dramatically and now feeds thousands of families annually providing services Monday through Friday.
