Do I Qualify?

Any household earning less than 185% of the Poverty Line.  Everyone that resides at your address, regardless of relationship, is considered a member of the household, and their income counts toward the total household income.

Registration Form

To save time at the distribution site, download and print the form below.
Complete the form and bring it with you to your first distribution. 

When you register, be sure to bring some proof of your current address with you, such as a driver's license, electric bill, rental agreement, etc."

How do I prove that I qualify?

You do not need to bring any proof of income to receive food. Please bring a form of identification showing that you reside in Somerset County. At the distribution point, you will be asked to register and certify your eligibility. If you are representing a household of a relative or friend, you must certify that that person is eligible. Our registration form is a legal document. You are certifying, under penalty of perjury, that your household qualifies for the food.
 

Will I still be able to use my local food pantry?

Yes! The Somerset County Mobile Food Bank is a supplemental program. We want you to attend your local food pantry and the mobile food distributions, if you need to. We are here to help you get items that pantries may not be able to stock, like large amounts of fresh produce.
