What to Expect

Registration/Sign In

If you are making your first visit to a Greater Cleveland Food Bank Distribution Center, we will need the following information to register your family: Name, Address, Phone Number, Date of Birth, and the number of people in your household. Volunteers will check in registered families and load their car with groceries at the front of the drive-thru line.

Groceries

Each food bank service, we purchase and transport fresh food from the Greater Cleveland Food Bank to our center. We typically provide two or three bags of groceries containing dry goods, produce, and meat to each family. Our supply can run low depending on the volume of families coming through, but we do our best to provide groceries to everyone that comes to get food.

Drive-Thru

We open our doors for service at 5:30pm and begin checking in and loading cars. When you arrive, pull into the drive-thru line and stay in your car. Please be respectful of others in line and those in the parking lot as there are other businesses open during our distribution. When your turn comes, you'll move slowly forward to the check-in area where a volunteer will greet you at your car and begin the check-in process.

Walk-Ins Welcome

If you don't have a car, but you have an alternate way to transport 2-3 large bags of groceries to your home, you are welcome to check-in and receive food. Walk up to the front of the building and notify a volunteer that you would like to check-in.
