Our church receives food through the government program: TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program).
To receive TEFAP food, you need to show a current photo ID AND one document that shows you receive government assistance
or that your income is low or your financial situation causes you to cut back on food.

We also have canned food brought to the church by our congregation and community.
You DO NOT need any form of ID or proof of eligibility to receive non-government food.

If you have questions, call Cathy at 410-823-3689 during the business hours Monday-Thursday.
