Client Choice Mentorship Opportunity
Do you want to learn more about client choice pantries?  Are you interested in switching to client choice, but the transition seems too daunting?  Then you are in luck. 

Several of our client choice member agencies have agreed to mentor food pantries who are interested in learning more about client choice.  To begin, click on the city closest to where your agency resides.  This will bring up a list of the mentor pantries in that area.  It is your responsibility to contact them.  After completing your mentorship we ask for you to fill out the survey below to provide us with your feedback.
