Who receives food assistance?
At God’s Storehouse, we serve two basic categories of customers who live in Danville or Pittsylvania County:
Those who are eligible for SNAP, Medicaid, or SSI. Customers receiving benefits from these programs may receive food once a month. This food is provided by TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program).
Those who do not receive SNAP, Medicaid, or SSI. Customers having income that meets the TEFAP eligibility guidelines may receive food every two weeks. Customers with no income may receive food once a month. This food is provided through donations.
Persons who are unable to pick-up their food can designate a proxy to pick-up for them. The proxy must be pre-approved by the customer and must provide a picture id to confirm identity.
