Each household may shop once every two weeks. There are three shopping options:
In-person shopping
Clients will walk through the Pantry with the assistance of a volunteer selecting the items they prefer.
Curbside Pick Up:
A client may use our (click) online order form fill out and mail in a paper order form or ask for a standard order (via phone call) and a volunteer will shop for the client, who will be given a time to pick up the order. There will be no dictating orders over the phone.
This is a service for Plymouth/Terryville residents who are homebound according to the definition as set by Medicare (click to see our Delivery Policy) and for households that have unexpected emergencies. Those wishing a delivery should follow the same process as Curbside Pick-up when requesting an order. There will be five deliveries made on Monday and five on Friday. If any of those five are not filled by the households described above, other deliveries will be considered on basis of needs.
All options are by appointment. Shoppers, should call the (860) 584-1750 and leave a clear message, stating your name and phone number (please leave one message only). Pick-Up and Delivery clients will be called by us once we receive your order. Appointments cannot be made earlier than two days prior to shopping or pickup.
