How do I get food from the Pantry?
No one should feel hunger or worry about putting food on their table. We have many options to help you get food – here’s how to start:
- Call (651) 686-0787 to set up an appointment. We help a lot of people, so we ask that you sign up for a specific day and time to get food from the Pantry.
- Come to your first appointment. When you come for your first appointment, a volunteer will meet with you to ask a few simple questions and explain how the Pantry works. We will not share your information with anyone.
- Pick out your own food – just like a regular grocery store. One of our friendly volunteers will guide you around as you choose your food. The Pantry looks like a regular grocery store, just smaller. The foods we have can change, but we try to have milk, eggs, dairy, meat, fish, breads, fruits, vegetables, canned food, and packaged food. We also have a Curbside service option available.
- Learn about the other ways The Open Door can help. Our Pantry isn’t the only way you can get fresh food from us. Ask about our Drive-Thru appointments, our Mobile Food locations, our summertime Mobile Lunchbox program, or our Emergency To-Go Bags. We can also help you get connected with other community agencies or assistance.
The volunteers and staff of The Open Door promise you a dignified and respectful experience. Give us a call today at (651) 686-0787.
