THE FOOD PANTRY

The Pantry is a member of Ozarks Food Harvest. Assistance is provided in the form of USDA/TEFAP foods, Senior Boxes, and donated food items. Donated food items come from local businesses and community members.  We operate an in-person, shopper's-choice food pantry.

​

Shoppers may come through the pantry for dry goods and USDA commodities once a month. You can also receive bonus cards for extra pantry visits by attending life skills classes or achieving goals in Pathways case management.

​

In addition to the Bolivar Pantry, COM also takes food to Humansville for distribution on the second Tuesday morning of every month. Call 417-326-2769 for more info.

​

To apply for food pantry assistance, please present the following items at time of arrival:

• Social security cards for everyone in the household

• Photo ID for everyone over the age of 18

• Proof of address (utility bill or mail from last 30 days)

• Proof of income (paystub, Social Security letter, letter from SNAP, etc.)

​

**Please bring a Photo ID with you EVERY time you visit the pantry.**

​

Shoppers must be under 185% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) to receive USDA TEFAP commodities and under 200% FPL for non-USDA foods.

​

COM utilizes the Charity Tracker online system for food and other assistance to ensure each shopper receives the proper help.
