How we operate:
- No appointments - first come, first served.
- 100% Client Choice - We are not a grocery store so we cannot guarantee what items will be available. Our stock changes from day to day depending on what is available from our suppliers. With that in mind, clients may choose what they want based on family size.
- A certain number of choices will be available with limits on some items.
- We attempt to have at least one meat choice at all times.
- Milk is received every two weeks but normally lasts only a few days.
- Clients may come in for food about 15 times per year. Once per month is the norm but a second visit per month is allowed up to 3 times through the year.
