Access 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.
Current Service Delivery
Our food shelf locations are now offering shopping inside our food shelves once again. Our Foodmobile Program will be operating a hybrid model of some shopping inside our Foodmobile, and some pre-packaged services.
Upon arrival to the food shelf, please form an orderly line outside for food shelf services. In line, we encourage everyone to stand six feet apart for social distancing. Face masks are also welcome. Each of our food shelves will be limiting the number of households that are permitted to shop and wait in the lobby at one time. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we make our services as accessible and safe as possible for everyone.
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.
NEW – Delivery Program
