We have two ways to get food: our walk-up pantry and our delivery pantry. Learn more about each below.
Walk-up Pantry
The easiest way to get food is to go to our walk-up pantry on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, beginning at 3:30 pm at the Civic Media Center (433. S. Main St). You can choose your own food according to your needs. At times we may have limits due to supply. No ID, proof-of-need, or appointment required. First come, first serve.
2024 Walk-up Pantry Dates
- October 8
- November 12
Deliveries
As of January 2024, we will offer deliveries only once a month. You will have to sign up each month. Deliveries will not be automatically recurring.
We’ll deliver on the fourth Thursday of each month. You’ll have the week before delivery day to request a delivery (see calendar for dates).
How to request a delivery
Folks who are interested in delivery can either call us at (352) 388-1568 or submit an online form during the sign-up period to request a delivery. We’ll process sign-up forms and calls in the order we receive them. We’ll let you know if we’re able to deliver to you.
We deliver food to households who can’t get to our pantry due to disability or lack of transportation. You are eligible for deliveries if you live in our service area (below). We prioritize households for whom one of the following applies:
- You or someone you care for has a disability that limits mobility
- You have no access to transportation, including a bus or a bike
Please note: due to Hurricane Helene, we were unable to service people who signed up to receive groceries in September. These people will be served in October, so we will not be accepting new delivery requests until November.
