Food Distribution Schedule
Thursdays and Saturdays: 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Tuesdays: 4 to 6:30 p.m. (Spanish as the primary language)
Instead of "first come, first serve," we determine the order of guests accessing the pantry using a lottery system. Clients do not need to present any documents or identification. Each client receives a number and then waits to be called. Any client who arrives before the pantry opens is given a number according to a lottery. After the pantry opens, numbers are given out in order of arrival. There is often a significant crowd (and wait) at the beginning. There is usually very little crowd and very little waiting near the end, but we promise that the food is the same!
