You need a photo ID at every visit to the food pantry.
5. Bring a list, 12-item limit
Milk, eggs, bread, soup, vegetables, meat, toilet tissue, corn muffin mix and crackers are generally provided to each family when available. If you want something specific, bring a list with no more than 12 items. If we have it, we will try to give it to you.
6. Share the love
We are volunteers and do our best. We ask that you respect our rules and be polite to our volunteers and your fellow clients. We do not allow current clients to volunteer. However, if you find yourself no longer needing our help, do what you can to help those who still need us. Donate or volunteer.
