New clients are advised to arrive by the time the pantry first opens in the morning in order to register as a new participant and receive the complete program orientation.
We request official photo identification of first-time participants as well as identification for all additional dependent family members showing that all are living at the same address.
You may visit the SOVA pantry once in each calendar month and receive groceries for all eligible dependent family members. Grocery orders are sized according to the number of family members. If you are homeless or do not have refrigeration and/or cooking facilities, you may visit twice each month.
Please inform the SOVA volunteer of special dietary requirements so that your order can be packed appropriately (example: no meat, no pork, low salt, low sugar, Kosher, etc.).
