Eligibility
Households are eligible to receive food from the Pantry if the total gross income for the household does not exceed 185% of the federal poverty level.
A household can be a single person or a group of persons (related or not) who live as one economic group. Assets are not included in the gross household income. Eligibility is based on current income status and self-declared eligibility. Households are not required to show proof of income.
People in need of food may visit the Food Pantry once every 30 days to receive food up to a maximum of 12 times per year. Emergency exceptions may be made. We do not turn people away who say they have no food. At least a small amount of food is given to them.
Low-income families, senior citizens and homeless people are eligible to utilize the Food Pantry. A minimum length of stay is NOT required to prove residency.
Clients receiving referrals from a County Human Services Agency or a Church-related agency may, in special circumstances, receive food before the 30-day limit is expired.
EMERGENCY is intentionally left undefined. Emergencies may range from no food in the house, no money for food or other tragedies such as house fire, unemployment, etc.
The pantry provides food to one family per address. Many times people “share” homes or apartments. In this case, the records are combined and “only one” allotment of food is distributed.
