Eligibility
The Open Pantry welcomes individuals and families in need, regardless of race, creed, religion or country of origin.
Paperwork
Clients are requested to bring the following items each time they visit The Open Pantry:
(1)Identification for every member of the household being claimed is helpful, but not required. You will be asked for the name of each person in the household.
(2) Proof of Address is requested for the head of household from the last 90 days. Name, date, and address is required for your proof of residence. If you are homeless, simply let us know.
Please visit The Open Pantry even if you do not have these items so we can provide additional resources and at least an ’emergency’ order of food for you and your family.
