SHOPPING PANTRY GUIDELINES

·  Households will receive a three to five day supply of food, depending on how much food we have on hand during the day you are shopping.

·  One adult per household will be allowed in the food area to shop. Caregivers may assist their clients.

·  Children are not allowed in the food shopping area of the pantry for their own safety. Children that can sit quietly on their own are allowed to wait in the lobby area of the pantry while their caregiver shops. Infants must be attended by their caregiver at all times. A Food Share Volunteer will shop for any client that has infants, and small children who require supervision, while that client waits in the lobby with those children.

·  Clients will shop with the assistance of a volunteer.

·  Clients may select the number of items (per household size) posted on the front of each shelf.

·  Clients may refuse to take food items, but may not take more of another item to make up the difference.

·  Please be aware of other shoppers in line behind you. While you are welcome to look at the various choices, please know that we need to keep the line moving at a reasonable pace in order to accommodate all clients each day.

·  Volunteers will select the food from the refrigerators and freezers for the clients.

·  Florence Food Share reserves the right to withhold service if safety or bad behavior becomes an issue.

This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
