Eligibility may be self-declared by providing a name, address, family size and combined monthly income for the household.

USDA foods may only be picked up for another qualified household if the recipient has been previously authorized to do so. Individuals picking up for a shut-in, elderly person or other eligible household must present signed authorization containing the name, address, family size and combined monthly income of the household receiving the food. Case workers picking up for large groups must arrange distribution plans with the Food Bank in advance.
