A suggested script — adapt it to your situation:
Hi, I'm calling to ask about your food assistance program.
My name is [your name], and I'm interested in the Community Kitchen program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Primarily Washtenaw County?
Could you also tell me your current hours and whether I need an appointment?
And just to confirm — is this service free of charge?
What is the best way to get started? I see call Food Gatherers for current access guidance.
Thank you so much for your help.
Always introduce yourself and ask to speak with someone who can help with your specific need.
