About the IFCS Food Assistance Program "Market @IFCS"

No one should go hungry, and everyone deserves access to nutritious food. Our food assistance program, called The Market @IFCS, is designed to resemble a grocery store. Participants choose the groceries that work best for their household at no cost. The food is provided by the federal program, The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), food drives from the local community, and food purchase orders. The Market relies on volunteers who stock the shelves, guide the participants, and clean the facility. It is open Monday through Friday, and participants come once a month.
