Good to Know

When you arrive, a team member will walk you through the process of choosing your items and let you know about any limits. Visitors have shared that staff hand out cold water while you wait in line, which is especially welcome on hot days.

Food & Essentials

How to Pick Up

Joe's Pantry uses a client-choice model at some locations, where you can select specific foods you'd like. When you arrive, staff will explain how the selection process works and what limits apply. Currently, most items are unlimited except for fish and milk.
