As of July 2025, Falls Area Food Pantry introduced a menu selection process for our Tuesday drive through service. Pantry Clients remain in their cars as they choose their twice-monthly selection of canned goods, produce, meat and dairy.
A volunteer provides Clients with a menu of food options. After Clients select their choices from a printed menu, the volunteer shopper gathers their requested items. Another volunteer loads their selections into their car. Clients control the food they want and will use. Clients still select their produce as their menu selections are loaded into their car. The annual client survey indicated that to a high degree, clients enjoy the new process!
The Pantry still offers in-person shopping every Thursday, where Clients make their own selections from well stocked shelves.
Thus, Clients may choose either the convenience and privacy of remaining in their cars or the personal experience and interaction from in-person shopping. In either case, the Pantry works to assure clients receive the food and manner that they prefer.
