• You can come once a month for a full shop and once a month for produce (going forward it will be produce only.
• We will give out random numbers close to our start time to determine the order in which people shop (lottery system). We will no longer be first come first served.
• Customers coming in after the lottery will be given a number as they enter the building. You will still need a photo ID and proof of address.
• If it’s your first visit of the month we will give you a blue number tag for a full shop. We will also give you a ticket that lets you know how much of each item you can take.
• If you’ve already visited the pantry this month we will give you a green number tag for produce.
• Only one person from your family can go into the shopping area. For safety reasons children are not allowed in the shopping area (except the produce only area).
• If you are a proxy picking up food for someone else you can only shop for one family at a time.
• Please bring your own reusable shopping bags. As many grocers are no longer giving out bags anymore, we don’t have enough.
• First week of the month is very busy. Come later in the month for faster service.
• If you see any ways we can improve as we make this change, please let us know.
