Need Food? Visit a Pantry
No pre-registration is required. Visit any of our pantry locations during distribution hours, and our staff will take care of you on site.

Want to register before your visit? That’s an option too.
Pre-registration is available, but not necessary. You may submit a request to register here, and we will follow up with you to complete registration. All information is confidential. Response times may vary, so please allow 3-4 business days. Once registration is complete, you will receive a client ID number.

Please consider the following guidelines when attending our pantries:

  • We only serve Sarasota and DeSoto county
  • Most food distributions are drive-through.
  • Please do not arrive more than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled time.
  • Clients at all pantries can receive only one serving per household.
  • If you have not done so in advance, you will be asked to register in person at all AFFB’s distribution sites.
  • Registration is a one-time process for all AFFB’s pantries.
  • Your information is confidential and will not be shared outside of the food bank network.
  • You will receive a client ID card. Please bring the card with you each time you visit one of our pantries.
  • The card will only be issued to the primary household member. Additional members do not require additional cards. One card per household.
  • You have the option to authorize someone outside of your household to collect food on your behalf. To do so, you must sign an authorization form: the TEFAP self-declaration form to designate a proxy.
