The Mountain Valley Church will be staffing the food pantry during the month of November.
Food pantry supplies were distributed to 31 families consisting of 71 family members on October 21. This included eight from the Home Maker Program.
The November board meeting will be held on November 2 at 7 p.m. at the food pantry.
A reminder that we can accept game meat if it is processed professionally.
The orders for Thanksgiving meals have been turned in. If you have signed up for a meal, it can be picked up on November 18th between 1 and 3 p.m.
With the weather turning cold, please do not drop off donations at the back door. They may go unnoticed and freeze.
The food pantry will only be open for the distribution of food and receiving foods on the first and third full weekends. If there is a 5th Saturday, we will be open then also.
Items needed this week are: chili, crackers, peanut butter, spaghetti noodles or elbow macaroni.
