Food Pantry
Since the COVID-19 emergency began, distribution has occurred on the weekend instead of Wednesday mornings. Volunteers prepare bags that are placed on tables in the driveway on Sixth Street. Recipients take the bags based on the numbers of people in their households.
Date of Distributions are the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month beginning at 9: a.m.
Only exception to this is Thanksgiving and Christmas where the distribution is the Saturday before the holiday.
