Washington County Food Pantry Guidelines

• Qualified individuals are limited to the food pantry one time per month (NO EXCEPTIONS)
• Capable individuals may be asked to volunteer
• One person or family per address

The Mobile Food Pantry is a traveling "farmers market" style, one-day distribution in counties where there is a need for additional pantry service. Joseph's Coat has collaborated with the Food Bank for the Heartland by purchasing pallets of food and household items at an extremely reduced rate. The Food Bank delivers the goods, which consist of products with an emphasis on perishable items such as fresh produce, meats and bakery items. Volunteers distribute the food free of charge to those who come to the Mobile Pantry seeking assistance.

Joseph's Coat is working to secure grant funding to hold Mobile Pantries on a regular basis and extend them to communities throughout the area.

For more information about volunteering or making a donation to the Mobile Pantry project, contact Joseph's Coat at 402.426.0440.
