New clients are advised to arrive by the time the pantry first opens in the morning in order to register as a new participant and receive the complete program orientation. They request official photo identification of first-time participants as well as identification for all additional dependent family members showing that all are living at the same address. We also require proof of residence within their service area. You may visit the SOVA pantry once in each calendar month and receive groceries for all eligible household members.
