A suggested script β 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 Food Pantry and Basic Needs program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as No eligibility requirements listed for food programs?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Weekday appointment scheduling 9 a.m.-4 p.m.; see source for distribution windows. Is that still accurate?
And just to confirm β is this service free of charge?
What is the best way to get started? I see call to book pantry, farm stand, or delivery slots.
Thank you so much for your help.
Always introduce yourself and ask to speak with someone who can help with your specific need.
Waitlist / Capacity: Appointments required for pantry (often books out days in advance); Emergency Bags are walk-up.
