FOOD DISTRIBUTION COVID-19 UPDATE
Pantry Hours: Monday 5:30 - 7:30PM, Tuesday 10 - 11:45AM, Thursday 4 - 6:15PM
Dublin Food Pantry is here to connect you with needed food without judgement. We have made some
operational changes for safety during the pandemic.Complete details below.
About Established in 1976, Dublin Food Panty (DFP) is ordinarily a choice pantry which means residents of Dublin or the Dublin School District usually select items in our pantry's grocery store-like setting. However, during the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have made the following changes:
Service Changes For safety, DFP now offers curbside in-vehicle check-in. We will load PRE-PACKAGED items into your vehicle to minimize person-to-person contact. Pre-packaged groceries typically include bread, meat, bagged fresh produce, and boxed food staples. Personal care item selection varies, some items may be available upon request, please ask when you check-in. Shoppers may visit ONCE a month.
Can someone shop for me? Yes. Please send a PROXY if you may have been exposed to COVID-19, or are sick, have a fever, or are more vulnerable to infection. DFP can help you find a PROXY if needed, please call 614-889-6590.
What to Bring to Check-In at Curbside Pick-up
-
Emergency help is available to anyone in immediate need of food. Dublin Food Pantry's regular service area is Dublin and Dublin School District. On a first visit (and every July) you will need to show one proof of residency document with your name, current address, and this should be dated within the last 90 days. (Utility bill, Lease, Medical Bill, etc.)
