Frequently Asked Questions
About Getting Help
How often can I come?
Clients of the Center pick up a nutritionally-balanced food box once a month.
In addition, clients are welcome to come to the Center once a week in order to select breads, bakery products, and fresh fruits or vegetables from local growers as available.
When is the best time to come?
Because clients can choose any day within a month to pick up food, we cannot predict which shifts will be busier than others. Clients should come prepared to do some waiting, and to share the space in consideration of others. If you have difficulty being in cozy spaces with a lot of other people, you may want to come during the second half of any shift, which may be a less busy time.
What if I arrive before the pantry is open?
We regret that we are not able to open our pantry for clients who arrive early, nor can we offer a sheltered environment in which to wait. Please be aware that our pantry opens and closes on schedule every day, and that if you choose to arrive early, we cannot offer you a warm and dry place to stand.
