What to do before driving over

• Call ahead. Posted hours change. Confirm the site is open today and that they are accepting new guests this week.
• Bring a piece of mail with your address — a utility bill, lease, or piece of forwarded mail. Most pantries serve a defined ZIP-code range and want to confirm you are inside it.
• Bring reusable bags or a cooler. A typical visit yields 3–7 days of groceries including some fresh and refrigerated items.
• Bring your EBT card if the location is a SNAP-authorized retailer rather than a free pantry. Locations marked "Supermarket" or "Grocery Store" are paid stores, not free distribution sites.
