Friendly staff. They are very welcoming and non judgemental. I love how they ensure to clean and sanitize work stations before and after use. Everyone wore facemasks, gloves, hairnets when needed, apron when needed, and even arm sleeves were available. It shows in every thing they do how much they care and want to help everyone in need. 100% Genuine .

Questions & Answers

What kind of I.D do they require? Do I need to bring proof of income? SS cards for every house hold member? Etc?

Marion Polk Food Share is our regional distribution center. They can provide you with a list of pantries in your area and also with required materials. Speaking for myself, I am the director of the Aumsville pantry, we do not require any of the items you mentioned. We have a one-time questionnaire but do not require proofs or ID.

Is the Marion Polk Food Share making suggesting or supporting a drive to acquire donations of baby formula for our local citizens.

Hi Noreen, We encourage people who have unopened, unexpired baby formula that they no longer need to donate it either to the Food Share or to their local pantry. At this point we're not encouraging people to buy it locally and donate it. For those that would like to support families with infants, we gladly accept donations of baby food, diapers and wipes. Thank you!

I'd like to plant a garden . Is there a place to get seeds or starts ?

Yes. Call the front desk and they can direct you to the community garden department. The awesome folks that run this can direct you to your local gardens, seed/starter events and also how to get them directly from the food share. I am the coordinator for Aumsville Food Pantry and we have seeds and starts for our patrons provided by MPFS as well. There are classes called Seed To Supper starting soon also. The food share will have all of this info or you could check with your local food pantry.

Are you guys an actual food bank? I'm looking for help.

Your office can see that Salem Parkway and Cherry Avenue is a food desert area, and yet there isn't a nearby food bank within walking distance and the BOUNTIFUL state agencies of Cherry Avenue aren't very helpful nor plentiful. There's many angry

Sorry about the inconvenience. Its an industrial area and the food share is a distribution center to food pantries all over Salem. There are places to get food boxes all over town, if you stop in at the food share the ladies in there can get you the info you need to visit one of the food pantries.
