The May Dugan Center is committed to providing food assistance to families who are impacted by the federal shutdown who are not receiving SNAP benefits in November. Here you'll find information on how to sign up for the May Dugan Center's Food Distribution program, and how help our community through volunteering, donating food, or monetary donations.
For Food Assistance
The May Dugan Center provides food assistance twice a week on Wednesdays and Fridays. Distributions start at 11:30am, and clients are able to receive food services once per week. To respond to the increased need due to SNAP benefits being delayed, the May Dugan Center has increased the number of households that can be served. Questions? Call 216-631-5800 x300 for the May Dugan Center food assistance line.
