You will never be asked for proof of information and there are no barriers to general food access.
Should you reside in Maple Valley, Black Diamond, or the boundaries of the Tahoma School District, you may want to bring proof of address (like a bill with your name on it) and IDs for each member of the household to ensure eligibility for additional MVFB programs (like holiday meals, back to school, and more).
Some helpful tips for your visit:
• Doors don’t open until 10:30. Please do not arrive prior to open hours.
• To avoid large crowds and long waits, we recommend visiting later in the day.
• If there is no line, you will simply come through the double doors and a member of our team will greet you for check in.
• If there is a line, we ask that you do not use bags to hold your spot. You must be present.
• We appreciate when you bring your own reusable bags.
• You do not have to have an appointment.
• Upon check-in, a volunteer will give you a tour of the market and walk you through the shopping card.
• If you do not want to shop inside, you’re welcome to take part in our curbside food bank. Please text or call for more information.
