Visit IFCS to Receive No-Cost Groceries
The Market @ IFCS is a free grocery store allowing people earning low-incomes or no incomes to shop for their basic needs twice a month. Fresh produce, frozen meat, and dairy products are stocked weekly along with pantry staples such as pasta and rice. Additionally, when available, we can offer infant care items and household toiletries to shoppers.
Open Monday through Friday, visitors of the market must check-in prior to shopping the market. Visitors that arrive after check-in will not be able to shop the market. Late arrivals will be given a one-day emergency food allotment or asked to return for service at the next scheduled check-in.
We ask that you come prepared with shopping bags. IFCS is unable to provide bags but may have boxes for shoppers to use to transport food home.
To decrease wait time for first time visitors, we offer online pre-registration. Before visiting The Market @ IFCS, use the links below and, after completing the online form, screenshot or write down your Client ID so we can find your information quickly. (Paper registration is available at check in for those who need it.)
