Due to the corona virus outbreak, and operating with concern for the health of our clients, the Cameron County Food Pantry will be operating on the following schedule. The food distribution scheduled for November 17, 2021, at 1:00 pm will be accomplished as follows.
On Wednesday, November 17, 2021, the regular Food Pantry distribution will be at the usual 1:00 to 3:00 pm time at 135 West Fourth Street in front of Northern Tier Community Action. South Poplar Street will be closed to Food Pantry vehicular traffic. Clients with cars are asked to stage on Fourth Street in the spaces available between Vine Street and Poplar Street. You will be directed when to pull forward to the space in designated front of Northern Tier to receive your box. Please be patient while we try to get everyone through as quickly as possible. A volunteer will take your name and another will place your box(S) in your car (do not get out of your car) and you can then pull out when you can do so safely, allowing the next vehicle to move up.
PLEASE DO NOT BLOCK TRAFFIC ON FOURTH STREET!
Walk up Food Pantry clients will also get their food box on Fourth Street. There will be a specific walk-up location for you to be served. Please wait there and keep two arms lengths distance from others who may be in line for distribution.
You are eligible for this food distribution if you meet the household income guidelines, are unemployed, or have had a reduction in income due to the corona virus. Clients who are either sick or have health issues that prevent you from coming out can call Dave Malize at 814-486-1161, Ext 269, and we will arrange to get your food box to you. Please do not come out if you are sick.
Your cooperation is expected. Please be patient during this process. We will get through this by working together.
Clients from the Emporium Arms and Maple Street Apartments will receive food delivered Tuesday, November 16, at 10:00 am and 11:00 am, respectively.
PLEASE NOTE: Esther’s Place behind the Emporium First United Methodist Church continues to do a weekly distribution each Tuesday from 1:00pm to 4:00 pm.
