What you need to bring: Bring current picture ID for yourself, and current ID for everyone in your family that lives with you. Also bring something that has your current address on it. Clients are asked to pre-register by calling 211.
Pandemic protocols: We have been operating outdoors since the pandemic, and are moving back indoors as of NOVEMEBER 11, 2021. Limited numbers of people will be allowed indoors, so there may be a short line up. But our system works fairly quickly. Please, WEAR A MASK, and keep SOCIALLY DISTANCED. We have hand sanitizer available.
What to expect: We aim to provide 5-7 days of food. We try to have some fresh produce, and do have some specialty items available on request, like diapers. Presently we are supplying boxes and bags.
