Hours of Operation: M-F 8:30AM-12PM, 12:30PM-3:30PM
For Food or Financial Assistance:
-Call or walk in for appointment
-Clients' information will be screened by a Social Worker, and those who are eligible will be put on the waiting list to see a Social Worker (this process may take up to two weeks because of the amount of clients we see).
-On the day of your appointment bring your Social Security Card, Proof of Income (payroll check, food stamp letter, WIC, income tax refund, disability check, etc), Proof of Expenses (rent payment, utility bill, medical bill, etc), and any letters for further verification (eviction or utility cut off notice, tax forms, referral forms, etc).
-An appointment does not guarantee that a client will receive assistance.
-Emergency food may be given with no Social Security time on a client's first visit, but is required each visit after that.
-We DO assist clients to get their Birth Certificate or Social Security Card.
-Food boxes given based on size of the family and financial status.
-Clients with no form of transportation may receive a smaller food box.
-Clients may receive food boxes from Good Samaritan once a month.
-Emergency food is available every two weeks for homeless clients or anyone who hasn't received food in 3 days (you are not eligible for both).
-If a client is not able to make a meeting or pick up food, a proxy may be sent in their place, but must have a signed note from the client (we would prefer this only be in the case of emergencies or in clients with disabilities).
