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.
