The Interfaith Works Food Pantry is a client-choice pantry located within the IW Essential Needs Center, allowing individuals and families to select their own food and diapers in a store-like setting. The pantry primarily serves residents of Rockville and surrounding areas in specific zip codes. Families outside the served zip codes may still access food after completing a monthly Clothing Center appointment. The Essential Needs Center also houses the IW Clothing Center and connects visitors to additional resources and social services. Shopping is by appointment only, scheduled through SignUpGenius links on the Interfaith Works website.
