SVCM offers a “client choice” food pantry where clients come through with a volunteer and choose what they want from the shelves based on availability and family size.  Clients can come every 21 days for food. ​The exception is our free produce which they are eligible to receive daily. 

SVCM distributes TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program) to all eligible clients.  
Our Clothes Closet has men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing as well as shoes.  Clients can come every 21 days. They can choose a limited number of each item for every person in the household.  We also have sheets, towels, and blankets which they are eligible for every 6 months. We also have household items such as plates, bowls, glasses, silverware and basic kitchen utensils and small appliances. ​
