FOOD ACCESS
Open Hours
Every Tuesday: 12pm-2pm
We are also open 4pm-6pm the second Tuesday of every month.
If these days/times don't work for you or you have an emergency please contact us to make an appointment.
The Emily Food Shelf is what is considered to be a “choice food shelf", which means that it is set up like a grocery store and our neighbors are allowed to pick their own food and personal care items from the selections available.
We do our best to offer fresh produce, meat, dairy, bread, canned fruits and vegetables, other shelf-stable items, and personal care items consistently at each of our distributions.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We have a simple registration process where we request basic household information and no special documentation is required. Volunteers are available to help our neighbors through every step of the process as well as assisting them with their shopping experience when needed.
We do our best to make each neighbor's experience as easy and pleasant as possible. If you are unable to visit us due to transportation issues or other circumstances, please contact us so we can help! There is truly no reason to go without.
