What to expect when you visit the pantry:

All are welcome! We are open every Wednesday from 9am-11am unless otherwise specified. Near holidays and inclement weather, please check recent posts on our Facebook page for possible schedule changes. Sign-in begins no earlier than 6:30am, shopping starts at 9am, and we close at 11am sharp.

What to expect when you visit the pantry:

· When you arrive, come to the doors off the parking lot and knock. A volunteer will let you in.

· Sign-in is on a first come, first served basis.

· If you arrive before 9am, staff and volunteers are prepping the pantry and may not be able to help you right away.

· If you arrive late and need help urgently, we will give you information about other pantries nearby that are open.

· Ask for an express form if you are in a hurry and/or only need a few items. You must skip the clothes closet if you choose express.

· On your first visit, we will ask for contact information and details about your household to share only with Harvesters and other pantries. The information stays confidential, and you can choose not to give any details if you prefer. You do not need to bring ID or any other documents.

· When you sign in, you will be handed a number card, and you will wait in our lobby until your number is called. If sign in before 9am, you may leave as long as you return by 9am.

· If you are not at the pantry when your number is called, the next number will be called, and you may need to sign in again at the end of the line.

· Only one member of each household may go into the main pantry. All other members of the household, including kids who are old enough to be alone, should wait in the lobby while the other member shops the main pantry.

· Each station has certain choice limits, and a volunteer who will help you understand the limits.

· When your number is called, you will meet a volunteer by the shopping carts who will go with you through the main pantry. Then, a volunteer will put your bags on a shelf with your name on them. Then, a volunteer will help you shop your produce. Then, a volunteer will help you shop hygiene items and pet supplies. Then you can check out the clothes closet. Remember to get your bags off the shelf on your way out.

· Pantry volunteers can help you carry your bags to a car if needed.
