In an effort to help residents impacted by the COVID-19 crisis and give others a chance to give back, the City is hosting a Give-and-Take Drive-through Food Pantry in May.
On Saturday, May 2, the City will collect food donations from 9-11 am at the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center. Donations sought include peanut butter, pasta and pasta sauce; cereal, rice; hearty soups; and other food items. You can take part by placing food items in your trunk, driving up and simply popping your trunk for staff who will collect the items. You will stay in your vehicle, and social-distancing guidelines will be followed.
Then on Monday, May 4 from 9-11 am, the City will host the Drive-Through Food Pantry where people will pull up, pop their trunks and a bag of food will be placed in their trunks until the food runs out.
