Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Go to the pantry on a Thursday between 11 am and 1:30 pm and register in person with your name, address and phone number..
You can just show up.
What to expect
You register when you arrive, giving your name, address and phone number. Then you pick the foods that fit your household's needs, a shopping style the group calls client choice. The site does not say how long a visit takes, whether bags are given, or what else happens there.
Tips for your first visit
- Have your name, address and phone number ready for registration.
- Bring your own bags, since the site does not say whether bags are provided.
- The site does not list eligibility, so ask at the door if you are not sure you qualify.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The pantry has a set day, hours and address, and registration happens when you arrive. The site does not list eligibility rules or a phone line..
