Drive-Thru Produce Pantry To Be Held Monday At Heights Libraries

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — The Heights Libraries will be holding a drive-thru produce pantry on Monday. Guests will not need to leave their car for any reason during the pick-up process.

"Even though we've had to close our buildings to protect our customers and staff, we have decided we need to support the efforts of crucial organizations like the Red Cross and Cleveland Foodbank. So many vulnerable people in our community still need access to healthy food, now more than ever," a library spokesperson told Patch.

The produce pantry will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Lee Road branch. Cars will need to have empty trunks because volunteers will only be allowed to load boxes of food into the trunk of the vehicle.

Cars should enter the main parking lot of the Lee Road branch off of Dellwood, stay in the fire lane, pick up food at the last meeting room door, turn left and then exit onto Ormond. Staff will be directing traffic flow.

Drivers should not get out of their car for any reason and there will be no person-to-person contact during the produce pantry process.

The library system will also host a blood drive on March 31.
