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
The May Dugan Center will be providing produce & food distributions on the following days:
-
2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month for Drive-Tru
-
2nd and 4th Thursday of each month for Walk-ins
We ask participants to read the full description of the process before coming to the May Dugan Center:
​
Walk-ins cannot be accommodated on Distribution Wednesdays, so all people are asked to drive. Cars will line up on Bridge Avenue and continue westward.
​
Participants will remain in their cars and food will be placed in the trunk so as to minimize contact. Participants are asked to provide sufficient trunk space for the food.
​
A valid driver's license or state i.d. card is all that is required to participate.
​
If you do not have a vehicle, you can authorize someone else (known as a proxy) to pick up food on your behalf. The person you select must have a vehicle and present a letter at the time of food distribution that contains the following information: the recipient’s name, the name of the person picking up food, the day of the distribution and the recipient’s signature. This letter can be handwritten.
​
If no vehicle or proxy is available, please call the May Dugan Center at 216-631-5800 x300. Other arrangements will be made to ensure food receipt. If you are connected to voicemail, please leave a message and someone will return your call as soon as possible.
