Food Pantries
Pantry packages include canned goods at a minimum but often include fresh bread, bakery items, meat, and produce. As an ongoing effort to meet the needs of our neighbors, The Salvation Army Food Pantry continues to operate as a drive-thru service. Individuals and families needing immediate food assistance can drive through the Food Pantry.

Details
Portions given will depend on the amount of stock on hand.
Frequency - Customers can come for a full distribution once per calendar month though USDA canned goods can be picked up weekly if needed.
Documentation - Customers will be asked to verbally provide their name, address, and income/sources during their first visit and to sign TEFAP/USDA paperwork at every visit. No ID is required for pickup.
Alternates - If you cannot pick up your food yourself, you must attend at least once each year (July-June) to sign paperwork and assign an alternate to make your pickups. Assigned alternates must bring a picture ID! Alternates can also pick up for a previously registered applicant with a written note from the applicant. Still they would need to provide a new note at each pick-up until the applicant officially assigned them as an alternate on our SDI form.
