Getting your groceries
Getting your groceries
When you arrive at Slate Valley Cares' Right to Food Center, you may grab a grocery cart or basket at the front of the Center and begin selecting your groceries. We encourage visitors to return regularly, as often as 1x/week, to collect their choice of available groceries.
Find an ever-changing selection of fresh produce, meat, eggs, dairy products, non-perishables, pet foods, and hygiene supplies.
When you're done, bring your cart or basket to the checkout counter at the front of the Center. Your items will be scanned and bagged - please bring a reusable bag with you, if possible!
At checkout, you may be asked if you're already a member of Slate Valley Cares. If you aren't already a member, we'll help get you signed up. It's super fast, easy, and free. Once you're an SVC member, enjoy groceries free of cost.
We hope you enjoy your visit! Complete a feedback form about your visit, if you wish, here.

Are there limits to how many items a member can take, or limits to how often a member may collect groceries?
For many items at the Right to Food Center, there is a limit to the quantity offered per individual/household. These limits are labeled throughout the Center and occasionally fluctuate with changes in supply. Members are encouraged to visit often and regularly; a once-per-week schedule is suggested. You are always welcome to ask about limits, if you have questions or concerns. We do our best to distribute supplies as fairly as possible to all our neighbors in need.
We sincerely appreciate the support of Slate Valley Cares donors and partners who help secure consistent grocery supplies for our local communities.
