Please be prepared to wait. You may receive food every 28 days. DID YOU KNOW that you can complete a proxy form IN ADVANCE that will allow another person to pick up food for you? Just ask for a form and we will gladly provide it! The form is required and must be signed. It must be done and signed BEFORE pick up.
