Who May Use The Food Shelf?

We ask that you be a resident of Pipestone County:  however, we help all who come to our facility.  Individuals do not need to be on county assistance programs to use the food shelf. 

TEFAP Eligibility 

Annual income of 300% or less of the federal poverty level is required for access to The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP).  Income is self-reported and no verification is required. 
 
PLEASE MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

The Pipestone County Food Shelf requests that you make an appointment at least 24 hours in advance of your visit.  Please click on the "Schedule Appointment" tab, above, to make your appointment.  Those arriving without an appointment will be offered the first available time slot.

          Distribution Method

Beginning in September, 2012, the Food Shelf changed it's method of food distribution from a version of "pre-packed" to "Client Choice".

Accompanied by a Food Shelf volunteer, shoppers are able to choose the items they require --based on the size of their household -- from the various categories offered.
