FOOD & CLOTHING DISTRIBUTION

MEETING THE BASIC NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY
​

The May Dugan Center's Food and Clothing Program ensures a safety net for the most vulnerable individuals, families, older adults, children and veterans. through produce, food and clothing distributions.

PRODUCE & FOOD DISTRIBUTION

​

STARTING IN 2024: 

The May Dugan Center is returning to all in-person food distribution in 2024. Below are the details of how the program will work. Our goal with this program change is to serve as many people in-person as we had with our Drive Thru Distribution. 

  • The program will return to an in-person format at the May Dugan Center 

  • Distribution will be available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays—every week. 

  • You will only be able to pick up once a week, but will be able to come weekly. 

  • Each time you will receive Pantry Bags, Produce and Meat (when available)

  • Appointments will be available between 11:30am-6:30pm on Monday and Wednesday, and between 11:30am-3:30pm on Fridays. 

  • Appointments will be encouraged, but walk-ins will be accepted. 

  • You will still be able to pick up for other households (with a proxy form). The limit is 1 person can pick up for 4 households (with the right forms—proxy form available at the May Dugan Center). 

  • The change in format will be increasing the total capacity for the Food Distribution Program.
