How do I qualify?
There are two ways to qualify:
1) By already receiving assistance: Families who already receive state or federal assistance for the entire family, such as food stamps, housing assistance, utility assistance, Temporary Aid for Needy Families or other related assistance, are automatically eligible for the food.
Or, 2) by income guidelines: If families do not qualify through receiving state or federal aid, they can qualify by having income under the 185% poverty guidelines established by the federal government.

Can someone else pick up food for me?
If you are eligible, you can have someone pick up your food by filling out the form below and having the person bring it with them to the distribution on the first Wednesday or third Saturday. Proxies are not available on the fourth Wednesday distribution.
We are not able to provide delivery service.
We do have curbside service for those who cannot come into the facility. Let the parking team know you are unable to enter the building, and they will send a volunteer out to get your information, determine eligibility and provide groceries to your car.
