The health and well-being of our customers, volunteers and staff are top priorities for us here at the Foodbank. To that end and due to the most recent coronavirus updates, the Kroger Community Food Pantry will move from its current shopping model to pre-packaged boxes, beginning Thursday, March 12, 2020 until further notice.
Upon arrival to the Foodbank’s parking lot, every vehicle will be given a number and asked to park in an orderly fashion. A volunteer or staff member will conduct registration at the vehicle and a pre-packaged box will be delivered. There is no need for you to get out of your vehicle as the food box will be brought directly to you. In the interest of keeping human contact to an absolute minimum, what the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) calls “social distancing,” we believe that this is the safest course of action to take moving forward, especially during these challenging times. Effective June 2nd, all customers are welcome to visit the Pantry for a full shop every week.
THE PANTRY IS OBSERVING THE FOLLOWING HOURS:
- Monday – Closed for stocking, sorting, and packing
- Tuesday – 8:30 a.m.-12 p.m.
- Wednesday – 8:30 a.m.-12 p.m. AND 5 p.m.-7 p.m.
- Thursday – 8:30 a.m.-12 p.m.
- Friday – 8:30 a.m.-12 p.m.
- Saturday – 8:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
- Sunday – Closed for stocking, sorting, and packing
In case of inclement or severe weather, the Kroger Community Food Pantry may delay opening, pause service, or close early, as the pantry is currently operating with a drive-in model. If weather delays or pauses food service, entry to the pantry parking lot will remain closed until lightning or other severe weather subsides and we are able to safely distribute food.
We so appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we all look out for one another during this public health threat and as this situation continues to unfold. Thank you.
