HOW TO REGISTER

During your first visit, you will be asked to provide proof that you are a Waukesha County resident by providing:

• A current driver's license

• A Social Security card*

• A bill, bank statement or other similar piece of mail

If your driver's license does not list your current address, bring the license and two pieces of mail.

*If you do not have Social Security cards for each member of the family, provide alternative IDs, such as an insurance card, Forward Care or other documentation. Please call and ask if you need further information about alternate ID.

All registration information collected is kept confidential.  Social Security cards (or facsimile) are used to verify the number of people in a household.  Social Security cards are never copied and numbers are never transferred for filing or recordkeeping purposes.

You will be asked for information on sources of income, such as current monthly wages, unemployment compensation, etc.

Pantry clients will receive bags to transport groceries on their initial visit.  Pantry clients are responsible to provide their own bags on all following visits.
