We have changed our sign in procedures to reduce early morning congestion on Summit Ave. Patrons, please do not arrive before 10:45am. At 11 am, sign in will begin. Everyone that signs in between 11-11:45 will pick a lottery number to indicate your place in line. The lottery will be picked just before noon. There is no longer an advantage to getting here early. If you arrive after initial sign in, you will be given the next number in line after the lottery folks. If you are traveling with another person, we suggest you not arrive until after 12:30 so you can do your shopping together. We know that change is hard, but we feel that this will address the parking and traffic concerns of our neighbors while keeping the distribution fair for everyone. Thank you.
Doing what we can to end food waste
Did you know that here at the Cupboard we accept donations from 12 local grocers and restaurants every week? In 2015, that added up to 78 THOUSAND POUNDS of fresh and frozen food we could offer our patrons instead of watching it go to waste. If you have a large car and can lift a heavy load we are always looking to have substitute volunteers at the ready. Shifts vary.
Holiday Schedule
The food cupboard will be open for the next 2 TUESDAYS (Dec 22nd and 29th) and closed on Christmas Eve and New Years Eve. Normal hours 12-2.
