We are open Sunday through Thursday. Hours and directions are listed below.

Please note: All clients must have their phone number written down on a piece of paper before coming to our facility. This allows for health and safety as well as efficiency purposes to protect our staff and get clients served as quickly as possible. Clients can also download the Plentiful App on their phone, register, and then use the code located in the profile section of the app. If a client fails to have either their phone number written down or the app, we will ask them to leave and come back at a later date so we can keep the line moving and not interrupt service.

Please also note: Kehilat does not provide pen and paper for clients to write down their phone number. Clients who do not wish to use the Plentiful App must write down their phone number before coming to the pantry, and before coming inside to register.

There Are No Exceptions!

While we are a “First Come, First Served” pantry, we do ask that new clients pre-register before coming to the pantry. This can be done via the Plentiful mobile app or through our registration page linked here.

Further information on this can be found on our Food Registration page.

Clients are allowed to pick up once every 7 days only. On the day of pick-up the client will be checked into our system and given a ticket to pick-up food. Following that day, the client must wait a full 7 days minimum before returning (e.g., If a client picks up on Monday they must wait until the following Monday at minimum before they can pick up food again).

Clients should take note of the day during which they were last served, and plan ahead for the following week. We will not override for clients who come early or short of the one week minimum.

Clients may pick-up for friends or family as long as those individuals are in our system and they have the informed consent of those clients to pick-up on their behalf. Additionally, Photo ID must be presented for verification purposes.

Kehilat Food Pantry does reserve the right to limit the amount of people a client may pick-up for in order to ensure a fair distribution of food each day.

Anyone picking up on the behalf of multiple clients is encouraged to come on a Tuesday or Thursday, and should present their client list to our registration staff for verification of total food allocation.

Please note: If you are picking up on behalf of an organization (housing shelter, professional group, etc), please either bring a list of all the clients you are serving or speak with a member of management prior to coming. You can also email us and we will work with you that way as well.

Please also note: Clients are only allowed pick-up once a week and we do not override clients to allow for pick-ups twice in one week.

If you miss your normal pickup day (Sunday - Thursday), you may return on a different day, provided a full 7 days has passed since your last pickup day (i.e. if you normally pick up on Monday but miss Monday, you can come the following Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Sunday).

Keep in mind whichever day you check-in, you must then wait a full 7 days from that date before you can return (e.g., if you normally pick-up on Sunday and come on Monday, you cannot return next Sunday. You must wait 2 weeks to return on Sunday once more).

Please note: In the event that the pantry is closed on your normal pick-up day, we will provide an override for the next day and allow you resume a normal pick-up schedule the following week.

While this does not happen often, food choices do vary each distribution day. If it happens that you check-in and you do not wish to receive the day’s food variety, please step back in and speak to a member of the registration team so we can remove you for that day.

If you have special dietary needs and do not see items on the line that match those needs, please ask to speak with our distribution manager Nina and she will accommodate you.

Our volunteers team walking the registration line are trained to be on the lookout for any visibly frail or disabled clients. Any clients we encounter of this nature will be expedited for check-in. We do not expedite based on age.
