    Do I qualify?

    To qualify for emergency food, you must be a resident of Caroline County. New customers may demonstrate proof of residence with either a driver’s license or another document that shows their address. In addition, all new customers must provide proof of birth dates and social security cards for all household members, and proof of household income.

     

    If you already qualify for Temporary Cash Assistance, Food Stamps, Medical Assistance, or Unemployment you are most likely within the income guidelines.

    ​

    The amount of income varies by the size of the household. If qualified, the size of your household also determines the amount of food you will receive. Qualified clients may receive food once each month.
