How To Schedule A Free Grocery Pickup or delivery

Scheduling groceries for pickup or delivery only takes minutes. First, check the map above for the nearest food pantry to you. Then, begin shopping in our online store for all your needs. Be sure to check the availability calendar to see if your preferred location is open to place orders. Once your free groceries are ready, you’ll head to the selected location’s designated pickup area. Upon arrival, have your order confirmation in hand. It should have appeared on the screen when you placed the order, but in case you don’t have it, you can find it in your order confirmation email listed above the items you have ordered.
