You do not have to prove you are poor
The official Mobile Food Distribution page is clear: any person in need of food assistance may receive food. No pre-registration, no referrals and no ID are required. You are asked to register your household at the site: your name, address, how many people live in your home and their ages, and you self-declare your income level. That is a spoken declaration, not proof: no pay slips or documents. For the USDA TEFAP items you must be a South Dakota resident and fall within the published income guidelines, which are self-declared. If you collect for someone else you must bring their completed State Proxy Form and show your own valid ID.

Free. The page says all in need of food assistance are welcome to receive food at no cost to them.
