I don't think a food pantry would ever turn away a donation of any kind. Do keep in mind, for your convenience and to stretch you dollar, you can write a tax deductible check. They can then order what they need (they can get a case of peanut butter for $3) , including perishables or gift cards for purchase of perishables and items not covered by snap (personal hygiene needs i. e. shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, etc)
