The Salvation Army Client Choice Food Pantry provides families the opportunity to choose their own grocery items rather than receive a prepackaged box. Approved recipients may visit the Food Pantry every 30 days to receive fresh, canned, and frozen food. In addition, access to perishable foods every 10 days is provided when available. Food assistance services depend on the status of current donations.
The Food Pantry is funded, in part, by the City of Boise and is a critical partner in the Idaho Food Bank distribution network.
Please park on the northside of the building to use the main entrance to register and shop through the food pantry.
Clients are eligible every 30 days and need to provide proof of Ada County residency.
