Clients can shop in our pantry and choose the foods they prefer. This reduces waste because clients are getting food they will use.All clients must make an appointment to use Milford food Bank. This allows us to keep an ample stock of perishable food available for our clients.Clients do not need a referral to use our pantry, only the expressed desire to get food.
