to check for duplicates. The preceeding red asterick
(*) indicates that they are required.
To find addresses, there is a search box for the

previously entered,then you can select it. Please
note the address including the apartment number
must match.

click on the New Address link.

Once you’ve selected the address, the remaining
fields will be populated. You will need to add the
Apt/Unit field.
This process geo-codes the address to automatically
identify the Community District, Council District, and
exact location for Home Delivered Meal route
