No appointments are necessary during the hours posted above – we serve on a “first come first served basis” – if someone is a new client, we ask that they identify themselves so we can start them on brief paperwork shortly after they arrive. If they want to call to see how busy we are that is fine.

Information that we require for processing eligibility:

• You must be a resident of Perry County (there is no time requirement) a driver’s license or photo ID is required.
• You must complete the income information. This is a “self declaration.”
• If someone is picking up food for another client a proxy form must be filled out and kept on file at all times.
