Food Card Days

Services


Food Pantry

(Wise, Montague and Jack County residents)

Families are able to shop for free food every 30 days. Pantry hours are every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 9am - 2pm and Wednesday 12pm - 6pm.

Please bring a current piece of mail with your name and physical address on it. This can be paper form or on your phone.

You will fill out an application while you are here. It is basic household information and will take about 10 minutes to fill out.

You may also want to bring bags, a cooler bag and/or boxes to place your food in after shopping.

Utilities Assistance

(Wise County residents only)

We help families struggling to afford utility bills (electric, water, natural gas or propane), due to an unexpected event or significant increase in their current bill. We are unable to help with deposits or fees of any kind.

NEW POLICY FOR UTILITY ASSISTANCE(as of September 1, 2025)

We ONLY accept applications, through the link below, Tuesday and Thursday each week.

Please be aware that if you have a disconnect notice for this week, we cannot guarantee assistance. We also cannot guarantee assistance for the entire amount of the bill.

We will be working on applications as quickly as possible, but we are unable to look at or assist with incomplete submissions. Please make sure every blank is filled out.

Please understand the application process starts when you submit the fully completed 5-page application, please make sure every blank is filled out, a clear copy of the entire actual bill and a brief explanation of what’s going on to cause you to need help.

This process simply cannot occur in under 1 day. We are working as hard and fast as we can to complete as many applications and determine eligibility as possible. However, this will take some time. Many of the additional emails and Facebook messages we are receiving are from those who are not using the link, because it does not give them notice that their application has been submitted with all their documents. In order to make the best use of our time, questions about the status of your application will just slow the process down. Thank you for your patience.
