  • Yes. While we encourage people to stick to their pick-up time, we understand that things happen. We would rather you come later, or earlier, rather than not at all. If you need to change your order time, please try to text us at 508-296-8384. We’re not always able to reply but still appreciate you taking the time to alert us to necessary changes.

  • If you are unable to come at all, email pantry@igimv.org to cancel your order. If you follow these instructions, we can cancel your order and give you the opportunity to order for another day. If you don’t show up and you don’t email us, you won’t be able to order again until the following week.

  • We can make accommodations for anyone unable to access our online shopping platform due to lack of internet or a disability that would be best accommodated during in-person shopping hours. Arrangements must be made in advance, so please reach out to us via email at pantry@igimv.org, or call/text us at (508) 296-8384. We check messages as frequently as we can.

    • Your order number and pick-up time (found on your SmartChoice confirmation email).

    • If you have multiple orders, write down all order numbers.

    • Bring reusable shopping bags for dry goods, frozen items, and dairy. We will only provide bags for fresh produce. We recommend 2 bags for most orders, but bring more if needed.

    • Please refrain from using cell phones during check-in and pick-up.

    • Follow the traffic patterns as directed.

    • Pay attention so you don’t miss bread or other items we may be offering.
