- The way food is distributed at our food pantry has been changed to "Client Choice" rather than providing clients with whatever is available. This helps to ensure that the food resources that was available will be used.
- Each month on Food Pantry Day, clients are provided with a "shopping list" of available foods and how many items they may have, based on family size.
