How Do I Receive Food Assistance From The Cupboard?
On your first visit, you will be asked to fill out an application asking for your name, address, phone number, and the names and birth dates of everyone living with you. You will also need to certify that your income is below the guidelines.
What Do I Need to Bring With Me?
1. Photo ID
2. Document dated in the last 90 days showing your name and address - mail, utility bill, lease agreement, etc.
3. Re-usable grocery bags, if you have them. Otherwise, we will supply you with boxes or bags.
4. A Full Food Order is about 7 days' worth of food; we recommend having a vehicle or wagon to carry your groceries.
There are so many reasons why someone might need our help, and we are glad to be here when our neighbors need us the most. Clients are often referred to us by DHS, and others are self-referred.
