To qualify for food pantry assistance, a client family must meet Federal Poverty Guidelines as published annually. The guidelines can be found by searching the internet (CMCS/ CAHPG/ DEEO).  A.C.T.S. Pantry uses 200% of the poverty level as a qualifier. 
​
​​Eligibility is based on the financial situation of ALL members in a household.  Everyone who lives together and purchases and prepares food together is considered a member of the same household. Verification of income and information regarding housing arrangements and bridge card status are checked.

​We have remodeled the Food Pantry to include a larger waiting area, improved storage area, double door entry with airlock and a recall board and log. And we have updated our display coolers, shelves, refrigerators and freezers.
It's true!
​100% of your cash donations goes to purchase food. Revenue from our ACTS Thrift Store pays for all expenses in both the store and pantry and also purchases about one third of the food needed in the pantry.  The rest of the food comes from your donations and others. 

You can give to ACTS knowing full well that all your donation buys food for our pantry.
​
​ACTS is a member of the Northwest Food Coalition and participates with Food Rescue to receive donated food each week.
 If you give some of your own food to [feed] those who are hungry and to satisfy [the
needs of]  those who are humble, then your light will rise in the dark, and your
darkness will become as bright as the noonday sun.   - Isaiah 58:10
