PANTRY UPDATE:
We are planning to have parking lot distributions every Thursday. It will be from 9:30 am until 11:30 am. Our last distribution went very well and we appreciate everyone’s cooperation.
Our plan is to do this every Thursday morning as long as this Coronavirus problem exists, the food lasts, and we have these great volunteers to help get the job done.
We ask that you enter from West Street just as before and the same residency requirements apply,
just as before.
