FOOD BANK SERVICES

Need Help ?

The Food Bank Network is here to help individuals and families in need.  All our services are entirely free and available directly to you without referrals from other social agencies or providers.  We are not a government agency and do not report your name or other information to anyone.

At any of our locations you can get food of all types (including fresh, frozen, and refrigerated), personal care items, and cleaning supplies.  Our main pantry-warehouse has a much larger selection than the satellite pantries.

You can get help right away on your first visit.  You may call ahead if you have questions, but it is not necessary.

You MUST bring with you:

  • Some form of personal identification and proof of residency in Somerset County.
  • Shopping bags to carry home your items.  We will provide these if you do not have them for your first visit.
