Feeding The Valley Food Bank: How to Get Food
Feeding The Valley Food Bank does not publish who qualifies, so the pantry decides — here is what it does say, and who to ask. It is a regional food bank, so it supplies pantries rather than handing out groceries itself: below is how to find the one near you.

Do I have to prove my income to get food from Feeding The Valley Food Bank?
Feeding The Valley Food Bank does not publish a requirement either way. Each partner pantry sets its own, so ask the pantry before you go, or call 706-561-4755. Do not assume you are turned away: most pantries in the Feeding America network serve anyone who says they need help.
How do I actually get food from Feeding The Valley Food Bank?
Regional food bank: it supplies partner agencies rather than serving the public from its warehouse. Use the Food Pantry locator at feedingthevalley.org/locate-a-food-pantry-near-you/ - enter your ZIP code in the 'Your Location' box, pick a search radius (10 to 500 miles) and how many results to show, and it lists the Partner Agency closest to you. There is also a Mobile Pantry Schedule page, and the Neighbor Market, a client-choice evening pantry in which you shop for yourself with a cart, by appointment only, booked online through feedingthevalley.org/neighbormarket/.
When is Feeding The Valley Food Bank open?
Not published as a single schedule for partner pantries; hours come with each agency in the locator, and mobile distributions are on the Mobile Pantry Schedule page. The Neighbor Market opens 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday every week, by appointment. Office hours (not food distribution) are Monday-Thursday 7am-4pm.
Does Feeding The Valley Food Bank cost anything?
Not stated on the official page. Food from Feeding America network pantries is normally free; if anyone asks you to pay, ask why.
What do I need to bring?
Not stated on the Feeding The Valley Food Bank page we read. Bring an ID and something with your address if you have them, and bags or a box for the food — but do not stay home for lack of paperwork; most pantries take you anyway.
