Food Pantries and outlets provide services to anyone who is facing a crisis or emergency and meets the income eligibility guidelines of 185% of the federal poverty level.

Income levels are self-declared. Each person will be asked to fill out an application form, and some type of address verification will be required. This can include a rent receipt, utility bill, photo ID, or some other item. Pantry staff will help determine if you meet current income guidelines.

Pantries are usually able to provide a 3-5 day supply of food, which may include fresh vegetables, dairy products and meat. Each recipient is generally eligible to receive emergency food from a pantry up to once a month based on need.
