Our Offices and Food Pantry Will Be Closed from Wednesday, December 24, 2025, through Friday, January 2, 2026, For The Holiday Period. We will reopen the following week during our regular hours.

Food Pantry

The food pantry is open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, while food supplies last. Growing Home reserves the right to close the food pantry before the closing time when food supply is low. We will provide information for other food pantries to participants who arrive after we have met capacity, or we have closed.

Please be advised:
Due to limited space, indoor waiting is not available. Please come prepared for all weather conditions such as heat, rain, cold or snow. Growing Home is not responsible for any weather-related or health-related incidents that may occur while waiting outside.

The pantry will now serve a maximum of 45 participants per shift.
Participants are asked to bring their own shopping bags.
No Appointments Needed. Come to get food and resources.

Please bring an ID if available.

Growing Home offers a choice model where individuals can come in person and select food. Households can visit twice a month.

New Features

Senior Fridays: Participants aged 60 and over will now have priority service on Fridays, skipping the line and being first to receive buzzers. Seniors are welcome any day of the week but can avoid lengthy wait times on Fridays. A Growing Home Senior ID Card will be issued to seniors for access to Senior Fridays.
To-Go Bags for Unhoused Participants: Unhoused participants (those without a physical address) will no longer need to wait in line for service. They will receive a to-go bag containing ready-to-eat or non-refrigerated food items. Unhoused participants may pick up their to-go bag once per week.

What Can I Expect From My Visit To The Food Pantry?

Buzzers are handed out starting at 9:00 am on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please note that saving spots in line is not allowed.

New Service Hours:
- Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm.
The Food pantry staff goes outside before the service (9:00 am Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday) to issue buzzers.
At the time buzzers are issued, staff will ask you to show your ID.
- Once issued a buzzer, wait in your vehicle on the north side of the building or in the designated waiting zone in the northeast corner of the parking lot away from through traffic. If you are not in this range, the buzzer will not work.
Participant Capacity: The pantry will now serve a maximum of 45 participants per shift.
Participants are asked to bring their own shopping bags.

Do I Qualify For The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)?

Participants who don’t qualify for TEFAP can still shop for food in the non-TEFAP section of our food pantry. A household may meet TEFAP income-based standards in either of the following two ways:

1. Participants who report they participate in one of these public assistance programs:

Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP)
SNAP (formerly Food Stamps)
Low-income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP)
Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)
Old Age Pension (OAP)
Aid to Needy Disabled (AND)
Aid to the Blind (AB)
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Medicaid Eligible Foster Children

2. If the household does not participate in any of the above public assistance programs, the household must have a self-reported combined gross income that does not exceed the maximum income limit for the applicable household size.

For 2025 Income Eligibility Guidelines for TEFAP, click here.
Only one member per household can register to shop for food. If it is necessary for another member of the household to shop, a proxy form must be signed by the registered participant.
We will serve a maximum of 45 participants in total for TEFAP and Non-TEFAP.
Participants can come to the food pantry twice per month.
