The Registration Personnel wearing facemasks will check that all Food Consumers’ JPC Food Pantry Card (JPCFPC) will be scanned if it is current; you will go to the next station to sign in and proceed to the various stations. If you are picking up your JPCFPC, the Registration Personnel may ask for your name to print your name. They will check all processed cards each time you come to the Food Pantry until they have it with the processed JPCFPC. The Registration Personnel will give you your JPCFPC.

Suppose you have lost your JPC, or need to update your Intake Application database base, or you make an initial Intake Application. In that case, the Registration Personnel will direct you to the Intake Station.

The Intake Personnel will place the number of households represented in each car on its windshield. Then you will drive up to each Food Station, where volunteers will put the Food and gift in your car/vehicle.
