FAQs
What types of supplies do you have?
Our food supply changes week to week but we prioritize fresh and canned fruits and vegetables, tortillas, pantry staples like beans, pasta, rice and flour, plus diapers, wipes, menstrual pads, laundry detergent, toilet paper and dish soap.
How does pick-up work?
We are open for pick-up on Thursdays between 5 PM and 7 PM. When you arrive, please pull into the church parking lot and wait in your car. A volunteer will come out to your car to take your order. If you are walking, please wait in the hallway on the bench or chairs.
Each adult can ask for a maximum of 2 orders. We are not able to fill orders for people who are not present at the time of ordering.
Do you have translation services?
We always have bilingual English/Spanish volunteers on community distribution days. If you or someone you know is interested in providing this service, please contact us!

Who can receive supplies?
Anyone! CANMN distributes food and supplies to anyone who needs them. We do not require identification or any information other than a first name for the order.
How long will I have to wait to receive my supplies?
If you are picking up, there may be a 15-30 minute wait depending on the number of cars in line. For delivery, plan to be at home and available for 1.5-2 hours to account for travel and traffic.
I have ideas for how you can better support the community. Can I share my ideas?
YES! We love to hear from community members about how we can better support them and meet their needs whether that be by having more of certain items, buying more culturally appropriate foods and supplies, or just making the pick-up process smoother!
