Independence Food
Basket Guidelines
Revised - 04/2010
1. The Independence Food Basket provides food to
individuals and families residing in the Independence area.
The amount of food provided to a family is based on the size
of the family.
2. In order to receive food, a consumer is required to
provide proof of his or her identity, proof of their current
address, and the social security number and date of birth
for each person in the home receiving food. Each time they
are encouraged to explore other food options we have
available for them.
3. If it is determined that the consumer has falsified
any information, the request for assistance will be denied
and the consumer will not be allowed to request further
assistance for a period to be determined by the Community
Access Center Board.
4. Before receiving food a fourth or subsequent time
within a twelve month period the consumer will be strongly
encouraged to complete a SNAP (food stamp) application and
attend a class on food budgeting. They will also be asked to
visit with a minister of the community who will confirm the
need for additional assistance. |
