Verification Process

 Starting October 1, 2024, you will need to verify your income, name, address, and the number of people in your household to continue receiving food from The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). This requires completing form F-40059. 

If you wish to access additional food from the pantry or if your household income exceeds the eligibility level, you must also provide:

1. Proof of Residence: Recent (in last 30 days) first-class mail addressed and delivered to you, a utility bill, or a lease in your name. If you do not have a permanent address, the registrar will discuss your situation with you to ensure you receive food.
2. Household Information: Names and birthdays of all household members
3. Photo ID: Your own photo ID and those of all household members – this ID should include dob and address. Children do not require photo ID. For children, you may use school portal information or other evidence of their name, birthday, and residence.

Note that gift cards and other local programs are only available to residents of the Oregon School District. We will verify that your address is within the OSD boundaries.

If your information changes throughout the year (e.g., address, household members, income), you must notify us to update our records and confirm your eligibility.
