FOOD PANTRY

Emergency Food Pantry Always Open,
Access Once per Month

Highland County Community Action has always provided an emergency food pantry for struggling families. It is open the same hours our services are accessible: Monday-Friday from 7:30am to 4:30pm.

Households can apply in person with household member information and self-declared income. We encourage bringing documentation to assist in completing additional applications that might prove beneficial to the household.

The agency provides roughly enough food for each person for three days for three basic meals. Our goal is to help stretch those already tight food budgets to meet a family’s nutritional needs more fully. We are here to provide assistance and seek to ensure those in need are served.

While the program typically allows access once per household each thirty days, we know that food should not be a worry for families and individuals during this time.

The food pantry provides 3 meals per household member for a 3 day supply of food. Applicants must be residents of Highland County and have a gross income under 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines . Applicants may receive food pantry assistance no more than once a month and only once within a 30 day period.
