Food Pantry Update - January 5
Karoline Nelson
Operations Manager
The Latter-Day Saints Church will be staffing the food pantry during the month of January.
Food pantry supplies were distributed to 28 families serving 49 people on December 30th. This included ten from the Home Maker Program.
We will be open this Saturday, January 5, being the 1st Saturday of the month.
A big Thank You! to the Ehlke and the Hollister families for their recent donation of beef and breakfast sausage. Also thanks to the Woodrings for their donation of eggs and to the Bar L Diamond Inc. for their beef and money donation.
With old man winter here, 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, can stew, soups, crackers, peanut butter, Skillet meals or Hamburger Helper.
