Capuchin Services Center

Overview of Assistance: The Capuchin Services Center operates a Shoppers’ Choice food pantry where individuals and families can select their own groceries in a grocery store–style setting. Food assistance is available to households based on family size, with each visit providing a designated amount of food.

There are no geographic eligibility requirements; however, an interview intake is required. Individuals must provide identification for all household members requesting assistance. Families may receive food once every 30 days and typically receive enough food to feed a family of four for one week. Food assistance may include meat, canned and boxed goods, and fresh produce and fruit.
