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 disperse food, Tuesday, March 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 Club in the blocked off street. Food Bank for the Heartland has requested a collection of information, including the total number of households served, as well as ages of household members in the following groups: ages 0-18, ages 19-64, and age 65-plus. Volunteers will collect the data.

The pantry will still be held outside using a drive-up delivery, where recipients will remain in their vehicles and volunteers will load the food for them. Any weather-related cancellations will be sent to the Norfolk radio stations, KBRX and the area newspapers.
