Traffic Reminder on Wednesdays
Notice: Union Memorial School (next door to the Food Shelf) is now in session on Wednesdays until 1:00 PM. We ask that if multiple clients arrive from 12 Noon to 2 PM, please form a line from the Claussen’s side of the Food Shelf. Please DO NOT BLOCK the road and/or the parking lot entrance between the Food Shelf and Classen’s. We will do our best to have a volunteer outside to guide you.
We continue to be open only on Wednesdays from 12 Noon to 6 PM. Volunteers will greet those needing food assistance outside at their cars. *** Please wear a face mask the entire time you are at the Food Shelf. Also, please make sure there is room in your TRUNK or BACK OF SUV. If groceries must go on the back seat, the volunteers will leave the groceries at the car for you to place in your car. ***
