A stocked food pantry on wheels
The DMARC Food Pantry on-the-go is a mobile food pantry that visits congregate living and other community sites to provide food pantry services to those who struggle to make it to a physical food pantry site.
- When utilizing the pantry, you can select the items you need by ordering at the window.
- A monthly food pantry service is provided (3-day supply; based on your household size) after answering a few questions about your household. There is no requirement based on income or residency.
- please plan to provide some form of ID if possible, you will not be denied food if you don’t have an ID.
Please note: Mobile food pantry schedules are subject to change based on weather and holiday closures. If you are in need of food but can’t make it to a food pantry location, please consider placing an order through DMARC delivery hotline or call 2-1-1 to find other assistance in our area.
