Visit IFCS to Receive No-Cost Groceries
The Market at IFCS is a year-round free grocery store allowing people earning low-incomes or no incomes to shop for their basic needs. When open, you may walk in to receive assistance during our distribution hours. We ask that you come prepared with the names and birthdates for everyone in your household. They do not have to be present, but we will need their information.
We are currently operating as curbside pickup only. This means grocery boxes will be pre-prepared. When you arrive, you will pull into a parking space and fill out a short intake form. You will then carry groceries from our distribution window to your vehicle. You should expect to be at the market 10-15 minutes. You can expect fresh produce, frozen meat, milk, and other common grocery items.
Eligibility: Pantry and TEFAP food is available for income-eligible households and to households that participate in select public assistance programs. Eligibility determined through self-disclosure. No photo ID or proof of income required.
Request Rental Assistance
As of March 9, our application process for rental assistance is closed. Since the February announcement, 69 applicants have requested rental assistance, and we anticipate the need to exceed funding that is currently available. Applications are being processed in the order in which they were received.
We greatly appreciate the community’s interest. The application process will reopen if additional funds are made available.
