How often may I use the food pantry?
(Currently due to COVID-19 we are pre-packaging non-perishable bags for patrons. 
  • Number of bags allowed: One filled bag per visit, once per week.
  • Day-old bakery and bread items: May be placed in a separate bag. There is no limit on quantity. 
  • Milk vouchers: Limit is one gallon per week, upon request. The voucher may be used at Burreson’s Foods only, for Borden’s milk brand only. 
  • Personal items (toilet paper, soaps, etc.): These items may be required to be placed in the same bag as food items, or if there is enough quantity they may be allowed to be bagged separately. 
  • Canned and boxed items: Limited to one of each type. For example, a customer could take one can of beans, one can of corn and one can of peas – but not three cans of peas.
  • Meats: One meat item is allowed per week.
