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.

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 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 do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

Info
The food is distributed from the building across the parking lot from the church and that is connected to the St. Francis International School building. People enter/exit the doors directly under the big blue sign that reads: 1500 St. Camillus Drive.

Everyone gets a food pantry card that allows them to receive every 4 weeks.

Newcomers are registered and given a card the first time they come. All recipients must be registered.

Clients must be at least 18 years of age and can show us some form of personal ID (driver's license, passport, home country ID... ) something with their name and date of birth.

Each time they come, they need to bring ID and Pantry card which gets scanned and the distribution recorded in our system.

There can only be 1 card per family, so husband and wife cannot each have a card, for example.
