Households self-certify for income-based program eligibility.
If you are unable to make it to the scheduled distribution point, you can designate someone else to pick up food for you. The person picking up for you must bring a USDA issued form signed by you (the food recipient) certifying your family size, income, and address. A new form is necessary every time you have someone else pick up food for you.

This popular program allows residents who income qualify to select free, fresh produce for their households. Built on a “Donate Don’t Dump” Foodlink program and locally administered by Great Northern Services, Tailgate Produce Party events bring a semi-truck full of fresh produce for free distribution to multiple Siskiyou County locations every month during the growing season. This program brings an average of over 100,000 lbs. of fresh fruit and vegetables to Siskiyou County residents every year.
