Our Pantry Services
Please Note: ALL CLIENTS are considered NEW each JULY due to the fiscal year for the state food allotment in which our agency participates so that our clients may have good nutritional choices each month.
Due to Covid, we are currently not allowing our families to enter our food pantry.
All food choices will be made via Digital Family Food Choice Survey, over the phone or by paper format that you receive by postal mail.
Beginning in December 2020, many families that are still receiving monthly phone calls and that did not enroll in the monthly online food choice survey via email, will receive their food choice survey in paper format by postal mail. We will include a postage paid envelope for you to use when you mail back your paper food choice survey.
Once you receive this please complete the paper format food choice survey and mail them back to us within 5 days.
Due to the amount of new families that are registering for our services and a shortage of volunteers, we can no longer continue to make phone calls to each of our pantry families.
If you are physically incapable of completing a paper formatted food choice survey each month and do not have access to email so that you can receive your monthly food choices via email, please call us so that we can ensure that you still receive a phone call every month.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
A 'self-declaration of income' (see button at the bottom of this page) must be signed to receive items provided through the state food allotment. Each client should provide the name of someone who can be listed as a 'proxy' for picking up groceries if necessary. You will be asked about food allergies or other health concerns of anyone in your household so that we may help you with your grocery choices each month. Allow 30-45 minutes on your first visit so that the staff and volunteers are able to guide you through the choice food pantry and provide information about our services. We are here to assist you. Please keep us informed each month of any changes within your household, such as cell phone numbers or change of address and the number of people. UPDATE: ALL Clients work with our intake volunteers on monthly food selections. Food boxes are packed for Curbside pickup.
