Distribution
(Monthly)
We understand that deciding to visit a food pantry for the first time may be difficult. Below you can find some information on how to prepare. We want to make sure that you feel comfortable and confident about your visit to Project SHARE.
What We Offer
At Project SHARE’s Food Distribution, households receive approximately one weeks’ worth of groceries. Clients can use food distribution one time each month, choosing the walk-in Your Choice Pantry or Drive Thru model.
Both options are located at 5 N. Orange St., Carlisle, PA.
How It Works
Your Choice Pantry
Our pantry is set up like a grocery store, and households can pick out the food that best meets their family’s size and needs. Upon entering the pantry, families receive shopping guides based on their household size. Click here to view an example of a shopping guide for a household of 3-4 individuals.
Your Choice shopping is by appointment only. To make an appointment, please call (717) 249-7773 or click here to schedule online.
Drive Thru
If you prefer not to come inside, you can use Project SHARE’s Drive Thru distribution. An appointment is not needed. If it’s your first time visiting Project SHARE, please call (717) 249-7773 to register.
Drive Thru is available once a month. Please visit Project SHARE’s calendar to determine the next available day.
