CCIA Food Pantry

We have changed the process in how we package and hand out food. We ask for your patience in this as we do our best to keep you our guest and volunteers safe.
​
If you are experiencing any cold / flu like symptoms we ask that you consider the health of others and not visit the pantry. If you can designate someone to pick up food for you we will try our best to accommodate your need. A simple letter to the pantry designating someone to pick up food for you and then sign your name.  

For the safety of all our volunteers and guests, we suggest that you please wear a face mask.                                              If you do not have one we can provide one for you.

• We will offer assistance to anyone that presents a need for help.
• We will offer assistance to our guests in one of two ways:

1) By providing them with “in-house” service that will help to address their need.
2) By providing them with information about “outside” services in the community that may be able to help them.

• We will treat all our guests with kindness and compassion
• We will respect our guests right to privacy
• We will not share information without prior approval.
• We look to expand the resources available here by inviting other providers to come and share their services.

​                         UPDATE ON THE CCIA BACK PACK PROGRAM
                                      GOOD NEWS FOR 2023-2024

We are pleased to announce that a school food pantry has been established at the Primary / Elementary School. This has been a dream for a few years. Starting in September 2023 The Spot has taken oversight of the school pantry called SpotMart. This is a wonderful opportunity to expand the availability of food to students and their families.
CCIA will continue to support SpotMart financially through the school year. Donations can still be made to CCIA or you can send your donations directly to the address below:

Supply A Smile
FREE Dental Program

CCIA is proud to support Supply a Smile (SAS), a free dental program which began in January 2011. 

SAS's  goal is to provide dental services to individuals who are not covered by dental insurance.
​Dental services provided are: fillings, cleanings, and extractions. 

The process for care begins with a visit to SAS's monthly screening at the Canandaigua Elementary School cafeteria. With first come first served, the doors are open at 8:30 am and screenings start at 9:00 am. Each month there are a limited number of appointments available so not everyone may be screened or receive an appointment for that month. We encourage you to return the following month.

Each patient begins with a brief health screening, including a blood pressure reading. Then they receive a dental exam to determine the route of care needed. The patient will then be responsible to call and schedule their appointment with the dentist they were referred to. 

We are truly thankful to the local dentists, hygienist’s, and volunteers for their kindness, generosity and donation of their time staffing SAS's Dental Program. Thank you to Canandaigua Primary / Elementary 
​school for their support in the use of the facility.

                                            Supply a Smile (SAS) Screenings at the School will return in October.
