Starting October 1, 2026, Fresh Start Monroe County will be changing our requirements regarding our Food Pantry.

We will hand out food on the SECOND AND FOURTH Wednesday of the month. It will be on October 7th and October 21 for the month of October between the hours of 11am and 5pm. Monica Shultz will not be giving food outside of these days and hours.

You will only be allowed FOUR food assitance visits a year. Unfortunately, we continue to see a lot of the same people coming, and they have not made any signs of improvement. In order to be able to help families falling on hard times that do not abuse resources, we have voted to implement this policy. This will cut out a lot of our issues.

We will not allow people to be hungry, but we also won't be a hand out and enable. We are not Walmart. We are here to help families who are genuinely struggling, and not abusing resources.

In addition, if those hours do not work for you, or you have an emergency need, you can text or call 423-649-7774, and we will work hard to accommodate your schedule and needs. Also, if your kids don't have a meal, we will make decisions on a case by case matter. 🙌🙌
