Recipient Qualifications
We are dedicated to supporting our "Neighbors in Need." Our mission is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves access to nutritious food and compassionate care.
We strive to:
-
Serve our recipients with respect, dignity, and kindness.
-
Provide a substantial amount of nutritious food, aiming to supplement nearly a month's worth of meals.
-
Offer valuable information and guidance on additional community resources, such as food stamps, clothing, and budget management.
If you or someone you know is in need, please contact us! We're here to help.
Please note: For Thursday's food distribution, first-time recipients must complete two registration forms: a data sheet and a TEFAP form. To save time, you can fill these forms out in advance by clicking the links below, printing them, and bringing them to your first visit. If you prefer, you can also complete the forms on-site when you arrive.
*Social workers may complete these forms and pick up food on behalf of their clients.*
