Community Food Pantry & Food Assistance
Nutritious Food. Neighborly Support. Everyone Welcome.
Whether you're stretching a fixed income, facing an unexpected hardship, or simply need a little extra support, our Community Food Pantry is here to help. Everyone deserves access to healthy food in a welcoming, respectful environment.
About the Program
Food insecurity affects people from every walk of life. Our Community Food Pantry serves older adults, working families, individuals with disabilities, and anyone experiencing temporary or ongoing food insecurity.
We provide nutritious food whenever available, including fresh produce, dairy products, meat, pantry staples, shelf-stable foods, bread and baked goods, frozen foods, and seasonal donations.
Much of our inventory comes through generous community donations, partnerships with the Idaho Foodbank, and our Food Recovery & Zero Hunger program, which rescues wholesome food that might otherwise go to waste. Inventory changes throughout the week depending on donations and deliveries.

Additional Food Assistance Programs
USDA Programs Now Available
Through our partnership with the Idaho Foodbank, the McCall Senior & Community Center now offers additional USDA nutrition programs that expand food access for eligible households and older adults in Valley County.
TEFAP
The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)
TEFAP is now operational at the McCall Senior & Community Center through our partnership with the Idaho Foodbank. TEFAP is a federally supported USDA program that provides nutritious foods to eligible households. Eligibility requirements apply and are separate from our general Community Food Pantry, which remains open to everyone without income verification.
Senior Food Boxes
Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP)
CSFP is now operational at the McCall Senior & Community Center for eligible adults age 60 and older. CSFP provides a monthly package of nutritious USDA foods to help supplement healthy diets for older adults. CSFP boxes may be picked up at the Center or, for eligible participants, delivered through MSCC's home-delivery network. Contact us to learn more about eligibility.
