What To Know Before You Shop

  • We serve ALL zip codes!
  • You do not need to bring any documentation when you visit. We will ask you to fill out some information about yourself and anyone you consider a part of your household. You can find that form HERE.
  • You are welcome to shop for a neighbor, family member, friend or client if they cannot make it to the market themselves.
  • We are a CHOICE pantry – which means you will be able to pick out items as you would in a grocery store. If you are shopping for someone else, it is helpful to know what their preferences are before coming to make shopping quick and easy.
  • Please bring your own bags. We can provide boxes and donated bags as they are available.
  • The lobby is only accessible by stairs, however the pantry is completely accessible by mobility aid device. Let us know upon arrival if you need to skip the stairs and we will take you around. There are restrooms that are accessible by mobility aid device as well.
