COVID-19 Procedures: 

​

The food pantry will remain open normal hours, but we will be implementing changes based on the COVID-19 recommendations:

​

• We will do curb-side service, meaning no clients will come in the pantry. Clients will come to the pantry window to be checked in. Once checked in, clients will need to stay in their car or wait at the picnic tables to receive their food package and other services.
• Clients will choose their own food items from a condensed grocery list. We will ask which items clients want; then we go get the items for them and bring them back out.
• We will not have any food outside the pantry (such as bread bins) to avoid gatherings outside the pantry. 

• Clothing and Household Items are available daily outside the pantry. One person is allowed to look in each bin at a time. Social distancing must be respected. 

​

Thank you for your understanding and patience while we work to make sure everyone has enough to eat during this difficult time.
