Don't be ashamed of getting food if you need it. The volunteers are warm and welcoming and non judgemental. Even the people waiting in line with you are somewhat friendly.

I only needed my ID - no other documentation.

However, some people need to keep their kids from running around all over the place. It seems every person that was there with kids tonight was incapable of telling them to sit down somewhere and stop banshee screaming. Some were even throwing rocks!

Go inside and get a number when you get there. Get there early! They call people by groups of 20.

They have a wide variety of whole foods - no junk like candies, cookies and pop - like wheat cereal, fruit, veg, milk, eggs, etc.

You can do a full shop once a month where you get to pick from everything. Some items are marked unlimited so can take as much as you want. Like a decent person, I'm sure you'll only get the amount which you truly need.

Some fruits are VERY ripe but dont worry. Cut them up and freeze or cook right away for these items. Dont pass on them.

They do have a VERY small area for free pet food as well.
