You can receive food by visiting the food pantry or soup kitchen when it’s open. Make sure to check each resource page to see details like address, full schedule, and requirements.

Can someone deliver the food to my house?

Delivery services are very limited and are reserved for senior citizens or those with serious medical problems. If you believe you fall into either category, let us know and we may be able to help you find options in Cedar Grove.

What do I have to bring?

Every location is different! Please review the details included on each resource to see whether you need to bring any documentation like ID or proof of address, or supplies like bags to carry the food. If you don’t see any information on the resource, you don’t have to bring anything!

Do I need an appointment?

Every location is different! Some places in Cedar Grove accept appointments, some require it, and others allow walk-ins. Please review all details on the resource page to understand how you should prepare for your visit.

What kind of food do they have?

Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

Do they have vegetables?

Pantries may have different options at different times, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day. Most pantries in Cedar Grove do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

Mobile Market Guidelines

BRING YOUR OWN REUSABLE BAG! We have limited bags available (and they hold more groceries!) ONLY TWO SHOPPERS AT A TIME! Please wait until you receive a shopping basket to begin shopping. LOOK AT THE LABELS! The maximum number you can take of each item is written next to the label. Example: APPLES (5) = take up to 5 apples BAG YOUR OWN GROCERIES! Once you are done shopping, please go to the table with your basket. We ask that you bag your own groceries and leave the basket on the table when you are done. ONLY SHOP FOR ONE HOUSEHOLD AT A TIME! If you are shopping for more than one household (i.e. a friend, family, neighbors, etc.), you will need to get back in line and make a new basket for each household.
