Clients

Applications for food bank clients are available in the rectory office of St. Ferdinand’s Church. Clients must provide a copy of a current Driver’s License as well as a copy of a utility bill mailed to their Cranberry address in the past 30 days. Clients must be signed up one week in advance of the distribution date to be able to receive food. We distribute food from 9 AM to 10 AM on the last Wednesday of the month from January through October. Dates are earlier in November and December due to the holidays. Please see the Distribution Dates page for current year information.
