Mobile food pantry planned in Neligh

The mobile food pantry, sponsored by the Neligh United Methodist Church, as well as various other churches, individuals and businesses in the area, will be dispersing food Tuesday, Feb. 16, from 3 to 5 p.m., on the east side of the American Legion Club in Neligh. Cars will park on the west side of the Legion in the blocked-off street.

Food Bank for the Heartland is now sending enough food for each family to receive two orders, if they can use it. Recipients may still pick up for one other family. That same agency has requested pantry workers collect the total number of households served, as well as ages of household members, in the following groups: ages 0-18, 19-64 and age 65-plus. Volunteers will go car to car and collect information.

The mobile pantry will still be held outside, using a drive-up delivery, where recipients remain in vehicles and volunteers will load food.

The pantry will be held regardless of weather.
