If you’re struggling to put food on the table, you’re not alone—and you’re not without support. The Community Market is here to provide nutritious groceries in a welcoming atmosphere.
How to Get Started:
The first step is to make an appointment by calling 334-749-8844 between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., Monday through Friday.
A time will be set for you to visit the Community Market.
What to Expect
On your first visit, you will meet with one of our staff members or a volunteer for a brief interview. During this interview, you will be asked to provide the following information:
- Names and birthdates for each household member
- Income for each family member
- A photo ID and proof of residency in Lee County (such as a utility bill)
Once the interview is completed, you will shop for groceries just like at a regular store, choosing the items that work best for you and your family.
The food we have at any given time may change, but we try to have a good variety of canned goods, packaged food, bread, vegetables and fruit, meat and dairy.
