QUALIFICATIONS? When you need to provide additional nourishment to your family, we are here to help. We require documentation showing you are from the Harrisburg area or have children in the Harrisburg School District. This could include a copy of your Driver’s License or a utility bill. You could also receive a referral form from a school counselor or social worker. Families can shop once every 60 days. Our shelves are color coded and the amount of food you receive is determined based on family size. We are a shopper’s choice pantry, meaning you choose the type of food your family will eat. ITEMS IN STOCK? We provide canned goods, personal care items, cleaning supplies, paper products, produce, meat, bread and dairy items, when available. In the summer, we typically have a large selection of produce. In the winter, we carry a wide selection of clean, gently used winter coats. We also have new winter hats/caps, scarves and gloves in a variety of sizes. In addition, we carry school supplies and backpacks. A voucher is provided to either HyVee or Sam’s BP to complement the food choices at our pantry. If you are 65 years or older, you may qualify for a Senior Box. Those are available once per month. WHAT IS NOT CARRIED? We do not offer used furniture or clothing, other than winter coats and item mentioned above. We cannot help
with rent, utility bills or immediate cash needs. There are other organizations that better fill those needs. However, we are sometimes aware of persons able to donate such items to you. Also, we may be able to point you in the right direction. For example, depending on your income, you may qualify for an Internet connection and phone land line for $9.95 a month. SOURCE OF FOOD? Generous donations are contributed or collected by several organizations such as the Boys and Girl Scouts, Postal Carriers, local churches, and local businesses. There are numerous individuals or organizations who bring in grocery, school or household items or make monetary donations on our behalf. Plus, we are affiliated with Feeding South Dakota and AmpleHarvest.org. OPEN? Normal hours of operation are the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month from 4:00 – 7:00 pm and the 1st and 3rd Thursday from 10:00 am – noon. We are typically open two or more additional days per month. This changes based on need but is always noted on our Facebook page: facebook.com/ harrisburgfoodpantry. You can also inquire by calling (605) 929-0599. In the event of a food emergency, special arrangements can be made by phoning that same number. LOCATION? 203 Prairie St, Harrisburg. We are situated 1 block south of the new city hall. NEEDS? If you’d like to help, please call Sheila (605) 929-0599. Whether you’re a shopper, wish to make a monetary or other donation, or would like to volunteer your time, we appreciate your participation as Neighbors help Neighbors.
