The Walter A. Meyer Food Pantry provides sustenance in your time of need.
Our innovative walk-through concept assists users in both obtaining emergency food for his or her household as well as learning to make healthy, economical decisions. Individuals are assigned a number of points based on household size. Each patron is able to spend his or her points in a grocery-style pantry, choosing preferred foods and household items with the assistance of a staff or volunteer. Individuals may use the food pantry once every 30 days and no more than 6 times per year.
Please bring a picture ID for all household members age 18 and over, birth certificates for all household members age 17 and under, social security cards for all household members and proof of address.
