Semcac’s four food shelves provide individuals and families with a variety of nutritious food and the opportunity to stretch limited household budgets. The food shelves are sustained by monetary donations, donations of food and personal care items. Donations are needed year-round!
To use the food shelf, the household income should be at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level*. However, emergency food is available to any household experiencing a food crisis, regardless of household income. *This percentage changed due to COVID-19, from 200% of Fed. Poverty Level
