How it Works

  • In order to receive food, guests must bring a photo ID that lists a Jefferson County address.
    • If a person lives in Jefferson County but their ID does not reflect that, then they should bring the ID along with a supporting document with a Jefferson County address. Examples include:
      • Lease agreement
      • Mail
    • If a person currently lives in transitional housing, they will need a written letter from the house manager.
  • Guests can pick up food once every calendar month
