Grocery Assistance

Grocery Assistance for Dundee Township Residents

If you or someone you know is struggling to afford groceries, you are not alone.

Cardunal Community Cares helps eligible Dundee Township residents access nutritious food and essential grocery items. Our program primarily supports seniors, homebound individuals, people with disabilities, and households facing transportation or financial challenges.

Eligibility

Who Can Receive Assistance?

You may qualify for grocery assistance if you:

  • Live in Dundee Township
  • Are a senior or homebound individual experiencing food insecurity
  • Have difficulty shopping because of mobility, health, or transportation challenges
  • Are facing a temporary or ongoing financial hardship

No proof of income is required. Race, creed, background, and participation in other assistance programs are never factors.

What We Provide

Food and Essential Items

Grocery selections vary based on availability and household needs. Items may include:

  • Frozen meat
  • Fruits and vegetables
  • Bread and pantry staples
  • Milk, eggs, and butter
  • Canned goods and household basics, when available
  • Community outreach and support resources

Food is provided through community donations and items purchased by Cardunal Community Cares to support balanced and dependable grocery deliveries.

Program Options

How Grocery Assistance Works

Assistance is provided through home delivery or limited drive-up service, depending on each household’s circumstances.

Primary Service

Twice-Monthly Grocery Delivery

For many clients, especially seniors and homebound residents, door-to-door delivery is the safest and most reliable option.

  • Volunteers prepare and pack grocery orders
  • Groceries are delivered directly to the client’s home
  • When appropriate, volunteers may help bring groceries into the kitchen
Limited Availability

Drive-Up Grocery Pickup

Drive-up grocery pickup may be available for residents who are able to travel to the distribution location.

  • Pickup is offered on select dates
  • Grocery staples are generally available every other week
  • Items are provided based on current availability

That is completely okay. Many of our clients also receive assistance through other community or government programs.

Cardunal Community Cares exists to fill gaps, not replace other services.
