The AmeriCorps Seniors Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) at Northwest Community Action Partnership (NCAP) will sponsor a Mobile Food Pantry with the Food Bank for the Heartland on Tuesday, October 29, 2024 at the Dawes County Fairgrounds located at 2009 E. Gordon Ave, Chadron. The mobile pantry will start at 5:00 pm. No need to bring boxes – volunteers will load the food in your vehicle. Any household in need is welcome to attend and get food from the mobile pantry.
Due to changes in funding, the Food Bank for the Heartland now requires ALL participants complete The Emergency Food Assistance Program form (TEFAP) to receive food. This self-disclosed income form must be completed at each Mobile Food Pantry prior to receiving food. Further, anyone needing food to be picked up for them must complete a Proxy Consent Form prior to the event and send the signed form with their authorized representative. This form must be presented at each Mobile Food Pantry prior to receiving food for someone else. These forms are available at the Mobile Food Pantry, and in advance at ncap.info or can be picked up from the Extra Helpings Food Pantry in Chadron. Thank you for your patience as we transition to this new requirement.
