how to get food

If you are in need of food, please come to the Food Shelf during our hours of operation with proof of Winooski residency--a utility or phone bill or a current piece of mail that has your name and address on it.

                      Hours of Operation*

          2nd & 4th Wednesdays (1X/month only)  1 to 3 PM

Pantry staples, veggies, meat, and eggs

​

             2nd & 4th Saturdays (2X/month) 9:30 to 11 AM

Veggies, deli, bakery, and meat

                *Times may vary, especially during the Holidays​​

We only ask basic contact information, how many people reside in your household that you feed and care for, their ages, and whether or not you have a pet. For a Registration Form, please click below.

​

​

  • We will register you or sign you in if you are a returning guest. One of our volunteers will assist you in choosing the right kind of pre-packaged option--vegetarian, traditional American diet, or snack bags for those living rough. The amount of food your receive is based on the size of your household.

  • After registering, you may also help yourself to surplus perishables displayed on tables in front or any other food or toiletry we may have received extras of, which may also be found there.

  • We do not provide rides. Please bring a wheeled cart, backpack or other large transportable bag, plus some smaller bags, to bring the food home.

  • You may shop only one Wednesday per month, but may come on both Saturdays.
