Anna’s Cupboard’s Food Pantry Eligibilty Requirements

Anyone interested in securing our services must adhere to the following:
  1. You must be a resident of St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, & Warren County. Due to demand, we will not accept clients from outside these four communities even if referred. The ONLY exception is if there is an exigent need. For example, coming out of a homeless situation, fire, domestic violence, etc.
  2. Clients must be working with a case manager or pastor with whom the need can be verified. Anna’s Cupboard will ask each client for their referral information. If the name of a specific person from an agency or church cannot be provided, the request will be denied. After the initial referral has been made, the client will contact Anna’s Cupboard, at which point an application will be completed.
  3. A close-knit Latino family sits and prays together before a meal

  2. Clients will need to provide the following pieces of documentation:

    • Copy of driver’s license or official ID issued by the state
