 | CLIENT CHOICE FOOD PANTRY
IF YOU NEED TO RECERTIFY YOUR TEFAP CARD, PLEASE COME IN THE LAST TUESDAY OR FRIDAY OF THE MONTH IT EXPIRES AFTER YOU PICKUP TEFAP FOR THAT MONTH. FOR MONTHS WITH EASTER & CHRISTMAS PLEASE PLEASE NOTE CHANGES DUE TO BUILDING SHUTDOWN TIMES. TEFAP is now by appointment only to better serve our customers.
If you are in need of Emergency Food, please call the member church closest to your house for an Emergency Food Referral. Always bring your necessary information below with you for all referrals to the church for the referral and to the pantry for your food.
Please remember to always bring in all proof of income for everyone living in the house, including Department of Human Services statements, current Redford Drivers Liscense or State ID, birth certificates for the kids and social security cards for all.
 Since moving to Pearson Education Center in November 2006, a new approach for food delivery was initiated. Customers now make their own selection from available food in our pantry. We are confident this will increase customer satisfaction and better meet the needs of families.
Location of all services described below are at:
Pearson Education Center, 19990 Beech Daly Road, Redford, Michigan 48240
Please enter from Pembroke. At the last driveway behind the school, follow the fence to the end of the parking lot. Look for the RIR sign on the building. Enter only at this RIR door.
