Some NMCRS offices operate food lockers which help feed clients when providing funds is not practical or appropriate. They are stocked with limited quantities of essential items, packed to provide nutritionally-balanced meals. They are not intended to provide long-term food assistance.

  • The Food Lockers provide nutritionally balanced meals for short-term needs.
  • Food supplied supplements (or replaces) direct financial assistance.
  • Infant formula and diapers are also available.
  • In the absence of a food locker, the local NMCRS office can issue you a check to the local commissary or commercial grocery store.
  • The Food Lockers are run by Volunteers.
  • To request assistance from the Food Locker or to volunteer to help with your local Food Locker, please contact the nearest Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society location.
