A big Thank You! to the Townsend K-12 school staff for their recent food drive.
We are currently signing up those that would like an Easter meat (chicken or ham). You will be able to sign up on March 4th and 18th. The meats will be distributed on April 1st. If you are unable to pick up your meat, you can send a note and have someone pick it up for you.
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. If these days are inconvenient for any donating food, please notify Karoline or Daryl at the numbers below. If our needs pick up, we will return to our previous distribution dates.
If you are dropping off food donations during off hours, please do not leave them at the back door. They may go unnoticed and especially with the freezing temperatures, the food may freeze.
