Free Food Give-Away phone numbers are not available since each facility is operated by varying volunteers.

Qualifications for Free Surplus Food:
Proof of income (such as annual Social Security income statement, unemployment, disability or other document) a photo I.D. (drivers license or other) and proof of current local address such as a recent electric, gas bill with YOUR name on it, but water bills are not acceptable. IF you rent, and pay these utilities directly to the landlord as part of your rent payment, you will need a copy of the utility bill AND a sworn statement from the landlord that you are the current renter of that address, or a copy of your Rental Agreement. Other “proof”, in a variety of ways, including self-certification, is available on a form available at each give-away site. Recipients are requested to bring their own box, paper or other carry bags. Clean empty boxes and appropriate grocery bag donations are appreciated.

FOOD CONTRIBUTIONS
Non-perishable, commercially canned or pre packaged dry goods may be accepted at these events.  Frozen and unlabeled foods may not be accepted due to health safety concerns.

The food is provided through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) food commodities, surplus food from supermarkets, and by food drives sponsored by local businesses, schools, groups and clubs.
