On my first visit to the pantry to receive food, what happens?

On your first visit to the pantry to receive food, you will be asked to complete a one page Assistance Application.    On this application you will be asked for the first name, last name and birthdate of everyone in your household that will be receiving services.

Because you have been pre qualified, you will present the paperwork that you were asked to bring at this time. We do not take any copies of this paperwork.  It is used for verification purposes only.

Your information is put into our database and a weekly form is printed out.  This is the form you will sign each week. Now you will make your next appointment and you will be given an appointment reminder card.

Now you shop!  We now have self-shopping available.  You will be given a card for your household size.  This card will help you shop the shelves to get the food you need.  Your first time around we can assist you in learning the system.  It’s no hard and kinda fun!

Assisted shopping is always available for those who prefer it.

Once you’re done shopping, the food is bagged, and you’re on your way!
