CLIENT FOOD PANTRY

Client Choice Food Pantry

At Rising Up, our Client Choice Food Pantry functions like a small grocery store, allowing families to select the food that best suits their preferences and nutritional needs. This dignified approach helps households make wise, healthy choices that align with their cultural traditions and dietary requirements.

 

How It Works:

  • Enrolled clients are invited to shop monthly.

  • Shoppers choose from a wide range of nutritionally balanced groceries, including:

  • Fresh produce

  • Frozen meats

  • Dairy and deli items

  • Canned and dry goods

  • Breads, pastries, and baking supplies

  • Condiments, snacks, and more

Supporting Healthy Habits:
We believe nutrition is the foundation for well-being. That’s why we offer:

  • Easy, affordable recipes

  • Meal planning resources

  • Guidance on healthy eating habits
    All designed to help families incorporate healthier choices into their daily lives.

 

Emergency Support:

  • Families in the process of enrolling may receive an emergency food box to ensure immediate access to nutrition.

  • Individuals experiencing homelessness can visit the pantry during business hours to receive a “goodie bag” with a ready-to-eat meal, snacks, and a beverage.

Rising Up serves as a host site and to assist in outreach, certification and distribution of CSFP food boxes monthly to ensure no senior goes hungry.
