It is our policy to have 2 food baskets available to every household each month. A food basket is a cart full of groceries and varies depending on the number of people living in the household. Food baskets are estimated to provide between 3-5 days’ worth of emergency meals and consist of dairy and meat products, fresh produce, non-perishable canned and boxed food items, bread and pastry products and frozen foods. Clients also can make requests of non-food items with each visit to go with their baskets. These non-food items can be baby diapers, pet food, feminine hygiene products, laundry soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, deoderant etc. Please ask if there is something you need and if we have it in stock, we will include it with your basket.
In addition to our regular food baskets, we also offer another supplemental food program for those who qualify financially. These government commodity groceries are available three times each month and help to supplement the food that our regular baskets provide. This is a self-declaring program, clients will look at a chart and determine if they qualify based on their household income. Most of our clients do qualify for this program as well.
