Our New Lottery Ticket System

We now use a lottery ticket system to decide who shops first at the Pantry. We pull the tickets at random, like a lottery. How it works:

A few minutes before we open, we count everyone in line.
We put one numbered ticket in a container for each person in line. We mix the tickets. If there are 40 people in line, there will be 40 tickets in the container all mixed up together.
Each person in line is handed one numbered ticket drawn at random. (3, 28, 17, 40, 9, etc., for example)
People who come after the first group get a numbered ticket in the order they arrive (41, 42, 43, for example).
At 10:00 AM, at the dining tent, we begin to call people in numbered ticket order (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) to be interviewed and then shop.

If you are not here and ready when we call your number: We will skip you. You will need to go to the back of the line.

Why we use this system:

Everyone has the same chance to shop first. This is fair for people who cannot come early because of transportation, work, or other reasons.

You do not need to keep your place by waiting in a long line before we open.
You do not have to wait outside in bad weather. Once you get a numbered ticket, you can wait in the dining tent on our property.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!

pet guidelines

Pantry

Your dog must be well behaved and under control at all times. You may be in line for over an hour; it may be best to leave your pet at home, with a friend, or safely in your car.

Kitchen

When the Kitchen is serving meals, only controlled service dogs are allowed on Zarephath property. A Service Dog is

not the same as an Emotional Support Dog or pet. If you have a dog with you, you will be asked:

1. Is your service animal required because of

your disability?

2. What tasks has the dog been trained to

perform?

If your dog is an ADA qualified Service Dog, it may assist you in our back yard meal line and dining area. It must be in control at all times.

If your dog is not an ADA qualified Service Dog, we have made arrangements for you to eat your meal with your pet away from the main dining area. Please talk to a staff member if you have questions.
