From staff reports
Two area food pantries have changed how they will distribute food items.
— The Cranberry Food Pantry will have its regular food distribution from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. Monday at the former Cranberry High School.
There will be a change, though, in how the food is distributed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
“We ask for patience because this will take longer,” said Shaw. “We have adequate food supplies so the distribution will last all afternoon.”
— The Shepherd’s Green Community Food Pantry distribution at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Franklin will happen Saturday, March 28, with a number of changes in procedure due to coronavirus concerns.
All food will be pre-packed in boxes or bags and will be offered in a walk-through service along the 12th Street side of the church.
There will be three stations, an administration table where clients will check in and be offered coffee, a table with frozen goods, and a station to pick up the pre-packed food.
The program is open to new participants. The church can be reached by telephone at (814) 432-5161.
