Residents of Utica, Rome, the Mohawk Valley, and surrounding areas are encouraged to use our services. We invite you to share information about the JPC Food Pantry and its hours of operation with your friends and family via social media, text messages, e-mail, or phone.

Please take a look at the flyer below, which lists food that will be given to the community.

About the Christmas Presents Giveaway, we can help those who were unable to attend last week's giveaway. The Johnson Park Center Food Pantry Card (JPCFPC) will be checked to verify your non-attendance. You will be served on a first-come, first-served basis. All registered children ages 0 to 18 listed on the household registration will receive gifts. Participants must:

1. Possess a current JPCFPC

2. Have a temporary JPCFPC issued on-site during the event for new, lost, or updated applications

3. For adults aged 19 and above, receive one gift per registered adult listed as the head of household.

Registration staff will issue Christmas Present Tickets based on household registration.

If you are visiting the Food Pantry for the first time, the head of the household must bring identification (ID) for everyone living in the household. We accept a variety of government-issued IDs, including:

1. Birth Certificates

2. New York State (NYS) Driver's Licenses

3. NYS Photo IDs

4. NYS Driver License Cards

5. NYS Benefit Cards

7. Medicare Cards.

For those needing to recertify for the JPC Annual Low-Income Recertification, please bring your JPC Food Pantry Card (JPCFPC) and the required government identification for all household members. As shown in the chart below, meeting the USDA's eligibility guidelines is crucial.

We offer parking for those traveling by car. The entry point for our food distribution line is located in the 1400 block, starting from the corner of Arthur and West Streets, heading north, and leading past the JPC Community Garden towards the Johnson Park Center Food Pantry, at 1405 West Street, Utica, NY 13501, where our registration station is located.

Our dedicated registration personnel will scan each head of household's JPC Food Pantry Cards (JPCFPC). Please present a government-issued ID corresponding to your JPCFPC for verification to ensure a smooth process.

If you need to obtain your JPCFPC, our registration personnel may ask you to print your name and verify that your card has been processed. If your card is not found, you will need to complete a new Food Pantry Intake Application.

If you, as the head of the household, are visiting the JPC Food Pantry for any of the following reasons:

a. You are a first-time visitor.

b. Add or remove individuals from your existing Food Pantry Intake application on file at JPC.

c. To replace a lost JPCFPC.

Our registration personnel will guide you to the Intake Station at Johnson Park Center Headquarters, 26 Johnson Park, Utica, NY 13501, where friendly staff are ready to assist you in completing the Food Pantry Intake Application. You will be issued either a JPCFPC or a temporary JPCFPC, which can only be used on that day.

Please go back to:

i. The food distribution line and the registration personnel will scan or review your JPCFPC or temporary JPCFPC.

ii. The next station to sign in and complete the documentation based on your JPCFPC or temporary JPCFPC. (You will receive Christmas Present Tickets based on your household registration.)

iii. The various food stations, Christmas Present station-please give Christmas Workers your presents tickets, and they will assist you, and exit the JPC Free Choice Food Pantry area.
