First-Time Visit Information

Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to closing so we can gather family information in a 15-20 minute first-time client interview.

We will ask you for your address, names and birth dates of everyone who lives with you, and income and benefits* received by everyone who lives with you. (*This information is required by some of our funders and does NOT change the amount or kind of food you will receive.)

After your first visit, you will only need to give us your name to receive assistance.
