Assistance for Families

SVdP distributing food to families is a parking lot, drive-thru facility.

Families may visit the food pantry 1 day a week.

Tuesday – 12:00, Noon to 2:30 p.m. AND 4:00 to 5:30 p.m.

Thursday – 12:00 Noon to 2:30 p.m.

A SVdP volunteer at the pantry will speak with a family member and obtain necessary information prior to submitting their name for a food order. The food order will then be filled based on family size and loaded in the family’s vehicle.

The family will be asked to provide their name, number of members in the family, number of children under 18 years of age and if they receive government SNAP benefits. This information is necessary to maintain accurate record keeping.
