how to get food

If you are in need of food, please come to the Food Shelf during our hours of operation with proof of Winooski residency--a utility or phone bill or a current piece of mail that has your name and address on it. 

​

                      Hours of Operation*

          2nd & 4th Wednesdays (1X/month only)  2 to 4 PM

​

             2nd & 4th Saturdays (2X/month) 9:30 to 11 AM

                *Times may vary, especially during the Holidays

​

We only ask basic contact information, how many people reside in your household that you feed and care for, their ages, and whether or not you have a pet. For a Registration Form, please click below.

​

  • We will register you or sign you in if you are a returning guest, and one of our volunteers will assist you in shopping. We provide help because we have very limited space and need to guide you through the food selection process because of limited availability of items.  We take into account how many people reside in your household.

  •  On Wednesdays, guests shop the Little Green Pantry for staples, meat and eggs.  On Saturdays, we feature fresh fruit and veggies, bread and deli items.

  • You may shop only one Wednesday per month, but may come on both Saturdays.
