Your First Visit: In order to collect and report accurate statistics about who we serve, we will ask you a few questions to collect information about who is in your household, including the names and dates of birth of each person who you will be sharing food with. You do not have to sign up ahead of time or make an appointment, just come during open hours. Spanish interpretation or written materials are usually available. You will be given a card with your unique profile number on it, which we will use to check you in and out the next time you visit.

 

Each Time You Visit: You will be warmly greeted at the door and briefly checked in by a volunteer, who will ask if you have your card with your id number. If you don’t have your card we can make you a new one or look you up by your name and date of birth. After you check in you can grab a cart and start shopping! Our new location is spacious and easy to use. As you shop at your own pace,  you can select the foods you prefer from the shelf. Volunteers will be available to help you find what you’re looking for, answer any questions about limits and can also assist you with loading and unloading your groceries if you need assistance. When you are done shopping we weigh your cart and the weight is recorded under your profile solely so we can compile reports of how much food was distributed. Although some individual items are limited due to cost and demand, there are no weight limits and you will not be asked to put anything back. Your dignity and privacy are very important to us, and even if a volunteer recognizes you, our volunteers are trained on the importance of protecting our customer’s privacy and keeping your visit to the Food Share strictly confidential.
