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
Closed December 23rd–January 4th for Christmas & New Year’s At 4MyCiTy, our focus is on the importance of environmental sustainability, primarily through the sustainable management of food to reduce organic waste. Our programs not only limit the harmful effects caused by organic waste on our environment but also enhance food security for families within the communities we serve. Additionally, we are committed to fostering economic and personal growth through our 4MyCiTy U! Job training and mentoring program, which equips participants with vital skills in sustainable practices and community service, further strengthening our community’s resilience and self-sufficiency.

Please Note - Our focus is on Environmental Sustainability, 4MyCiTy is not a food bank. We rescue food as part of our sustainability mission and make those rescued resources available to families within our communities.

Requirements: Participate in both the compost and food program. For our compost program, we will provide compost bags. You just have to bring in your compost in the bag.
