Westlake Holding Food Pickup On Friday

WESTLAKE, OH — Westlake residents can still register for the Curbside Food Pickup program on Friday. The event will be held at the Westlake Senior and Community Services Center.

There are three time slots available for pickup on Friday, according to the city's website on Tuesday morning. The amount of food provided to each person is determined by the size of their family.

"To comply with CDC recommendations and state guidelines, please follow our social distancing instructions and wear a mask; gloves will be provided. Also, bring only yourself and one other person when you come to pick up your food items," the city said on its website.

Residents who do not want to disclose any information about themselves can register for a "private" pickup.

"If using privacy option, remember your date and time for pickup – no confirmation or reminder can be sent to you. If there is inclement weather, bags will be pre-packed according to family size for pickup at their scheduled time," the city said.

To register for the program, visit the city's website.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic contractions, the Westlake Food Pantry has seen a 400 percent uptick in demand.
