“If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.”

September 8: Grocery Pick-up and Shopping List Procedure
The Food Shelf will be open on Wednesday, September 8, from 12 Noon to 6 PM.
Did You Visit CCFS in August? If Not, Please Read This Section
We are in the second month of using a new procedure that will give you options with the regular grocery items as well as vegetables and fruits. You will be given a shopping list, a perishables list, a pencil, and a clipboard when you arrive. Please complete your choices on both lists. We will collect the lists and pack the items you have chosen. Our goal is that you will not wait much longer than you have waited in the past but please be patient as we continue to adapt to the new system along with you.
Miscellaneous Items Available While You Wait
There will be a table of miscellaneous items and recently outdated items at the front of the Food Shelf during our open hours on Wednesday, August 25. Please take a look at what is there while you wait and help yourself to a few items that you will use.
Annual Proof of Residency Requirement
Please bring your Proof of Residency when you visit the Food Shelf for the first time or if you have not been to the Food Shelf in 2021. Documentation should be a bill, such as a utility bill, insurance bill, etc., or a mortgage/lease agreement. A driver’s license and/or car registration can NOT be used for Proof of Residency.
Please Leave Donated Items ONLY on Wednesdays 11 AM – 6 PM
Please do not leave donated items at the Food Shelf unless we are open. Volunteers are at the Food Shelf beginning at 11 AM on Wednesdays preparing for the day. If you want to stop by between 11 AM and Noon, come to the side door if the large garage door is not open.
Local Home Gardeners
If you have extra produce in your gardens this summer, we are happy to have you share them with us. As it says above, there are volunteers preparing for the day beginning at 11 AM on Wednesdays, which is an easier time for volunteers to receive donations.
PLEASE STAY SAFE AND WELL!
THANK YOU again from the Volunteers and Clients
