Changes in Operating Hours for Onsite Pantry: Supporting Families

What is changing?

Beginning on Wednesday, April 12, 2023, Sanad Food Pantry’s hours will change.

NEW Hours:

  • Wednesdays from 9:00 AM-3:00 PM
  • Thursdays from 12:00-6:00 PM
  • Fridays from 9:00 AM-3:00 PM

Also on April 12, we will check in shoppers inside the Feeding Families pantry lobby. To make everyone more comfortable, we will limit the number of families in the waiting area using a new and improved number system.

  1. If you arrive before the pantry opens at 9:00 AM (or 12:00 PM on Thursdays), please line up in your cars by the check in booths in the parking lot.
    • A CFS staff member or volunteer will come by to hand you a number.
    • Once we give you the go-ahead, please park and head inside to get checked-in for shopping.
  2. If you arrive after we have opened and there is no line of cars, please park in the parking lot and come inside the lobby to grab your number.
