•• Effective November 1st, 2024 ••
Now that I have the pantry moved inside, I am slowly working my way towards being more formal and efficient with the pantry. I have talked with a lot of people that run food pantries, as well as people who use a pantry. Pretty much standard across the board you must present your ID and can only visit once a month.
I want the pantry to be as accessible and fair as possible. So moving forward you will need to present your ID and check in with the pantry attendant when you come in. Everyone will have an index card with their contact info on it, then we will write down the date you came in and the date you can come back. You will be allowed back on the 15th day, so for example, those who come in on November 1st will be able to come back Nov 15th.
I know some people won't like this, but as I have said, I've talked with a lot of people who have experiencing running a food pantry or utilizing a food pantry. I would like to think I am being more than fair allowing two visits a month.
This Sunday is the volunteer meeting for those who are interested in working the pantry. So hopefully next week we will have more available hours and more variety beyond the 4-7pm time slot.
Reminder we are open 4-7pm today!
