Get Registered for Food

Beginning November 1:

Due to recent high demand for our food program, there is a backlog in our registration process. If you need food immediately, you may come during registration hours, one time each month. Please bring your Photo ID (if possible) and bags for your food.

Please note: upon arriving, you may have to wait for a long period of time as we serve other people. We will assist you and other registration guests on a first-come, first-served basis. If we reach capacity for how many people we can serve and how much food we have, we may need to turn people away. Please try to come earlier in the time windows listed below.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Why register?

Feast of Justice requires registration of all guests who shop in our Mini Market food program. We use the information we get from registrations to see who and how many people we are serving, in order to determine how much food we can give in our Mini Market. We also use registrations to help connect our guests to specific resources.

What is a temporary registration?

Due to capacity constraints during our temporary Mini Market program, we are only providing temporary registration to all first-time guests, instead of our typical full registration process. Temporary registration guests get a red card, and are able to come to our walk-up times for food 1 time each month. We will restart full registrations for guests when we have capacity.

(A full registration is a lengthy process that requires more information, provides a white FOJ ID card with your assigned barcode, and will allow you to schedule food appointments for your 1 visit per month.)

I completed the online application,

why haven't I gotten a response?

Beginning November 1: due to recent high demand for our food program, there is a backlog in our registration process. If you need food immediately, you may come during registration hours, one time each month. Let our volunteers know you completed an online registration. Please bring your Photo ID (if possible) and bags for your food.

Please note: upon arriving, you may have to wait for a long period of time as we serve other people. We will assist you on a first-come, first-served basis. If we reach capacity for how many people we can serve and how much food we have, we may need to turn people away. Please try to come earlier in the time windows listed below.

We have temporarily closed our optional online registration application due to an overwhelming number of submissions. If you already submitted an online application, it will be faster for us to complete your registration on-site. (You do not need to submit our online application to get food with us, but your registration process will take longer when you come on-site.)

Can another person pick up food

with my FOJ ID Card?

If you are picking up food and you are not the person whose name is on the FOJ ID card, you must either be a listed family member, or a named "Proxy" on the cardholder's account. If you are not listed, the cardholder should call us or ask a volunteer to add you to their account in the computer.

Who do I contact if I have more questions about registration?

If you have questions, email registration@feastofjustice.org, or call and leave us a voicemail message 215-268-3510 ext. 4. (When calling, leave one voicemail message with your name. We will respond to your call.)
