Tips for Shoppers:
Arrive early, shopping numbers are handed out starting at 5:15 PM.
Bring clean, reusable bags.
Use the pantry only when needed (limit of 2 visits per month).
Follow the honor system- one shopper per household, with food distributed based on total household size (individuals must live in the home).
Be respectful to others- no smoking in line, no offensive language, and no aggressive behavior.
Shop efficiently so everyone has time within our operating hours.

The Bricelyn Food Pantry is committed to creating a space where everyone feels safe, respected, and supported. To help us maintain this positive environment, we have updated our Client Code of Conduct.

Each client will receive a printed copy, and signatures are required to participate in food shelf services. Thank you for helping us keep the pantry a caring and respectful place for our entire community.
