- Government ID is required for every member of the household and proof of residency, dated within three months, for any person over the age of 18 is required at every intake. Registration will be at the hamper intake window.
- A Card is issued with a renewal date. This card is required at every visit.
- Boxes will be limited to 1 box per household, 1 time per week.
- Hampers will be limited to 12 fills per year, up to 2 fills per month, with 1 week of food each fill.
