Accessing Food Shelf Services

To be eligible for food shelf services, you must establish a need, seeking emergency food services.

What to Bring:

It is helpful if you bring a photo ID with you to use the food shelf as it helps with our program management and speeds up the paperwork process, but it is NOT required for you to receive food shelf services.

Sending Someone to the Food Shelf in Your Place:

If you are unable to pick up food for yourself at the food shelves or on the Foodmobile, you may designate someone else to pick up for you. To do this, one option is to call in to one of our food shelves to give verbal permission. The other option, is to write a note that states the name of the individual picking up for you, with your name and signature. Please call our food shelves if you have any questions about this process.
