Families can receive food once a month with no weight limit. There is a suggested number of items for a family of four labeled on the shelves, such as two cans of each vegetable, two bags of rice, and one bag of cereal. Number of items allowed is based on inventory and changes frequently; items depend on the clients' family size and their needs. Residents living outside of Le Center can only visit the food shelf one time and then will be referred back to the food shelf in their area.
