Announcements for 2026

Only residents of Wicomico County who are signed up with our Food Pantry can receive Thanksgiving turkeys and Christmas toys.

Please remember to bring your photo ID and proof of income when you sign up.

The Food Pantry is open 9 to 11:15 a.m. every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at the Joseph House Crisis Center, 812 Boundary Street, Salisbury, MD.

The deadline to sign up for a turkey is October 29.

Turkeys will be given out on November 17, 18, and 19.

Please note that the turkeys are frozen.

No other food will be given out on those days, so you may come another week in November to receive groceries.

The deadline to sign up for toys is November 25.

Christmas toys will be given out on December 15, 16, and 17.

The upper age limit for a child to receive a gift is 14 years.

No groceries will be given out from the Food Pantry that week, so plan to come another week during December for food.
