The Food Bank will go on, despite the weather: Mondays from 3:00 – 4:00 pm and Wednesdays from noon to 2:00 pm.

NEW GUIDELINES FOR FOOD PANTRY ON-GOING:

We are continually upgrading our protocol for the food pantry in order to protect you and your neighbors.  To this end, here are some changes effective on Monday, April 13^th.

1                     Park on Main Street. 

2                     Walk to the alley just west of the Inn and come around to Gold Run St.  Form a line staying 6 feet behind the person in front of you.  YOUR CHILDREN ARE A PART OF YOUR POD AND THEY NEED TO STAY WITH YOU.  THEY MAY NOT RUN AROUND AND INVADE THE SPACE OF OTHERS.   

3                     Your opportunity to get food begins at the southeast corner of the railing around the GH Pub back deck.  You will be met by 1 of 4 food pantry workers who will be masked and gloved and will put your chosen items into a clean paper sack.  You do not need to bring your reusable bag since we are not allowed to use them.  Your food pantry worker will stay inside the railing and you will stay outside the railing leaving a 6’ gap between both of you as well as the person who is ahead of you.  You will continue around the railing and exit at the staircase at the back of the store.  At that point, the food pantry worker will sit your bag on the cooler and begin the process with another attendee.  YOU AND YOUR BAG SHOULD EXIT NORTH TOWARD MAIN STREET AND YOUR CAR.

4                     QUANTITY:  Each family will be limited to one sack only.  If there is food left over at 4 pm, the line may begin again.  The pantry is over at 4 pm on Monday or 2 pm on Wednesday.  If there is still food left over you may get back in line again.

5                     Safety Officer Maloney will be on hand if you have any questions on concerns and will be making sure that all of the above procedures are enforced.
