Food bank in need of food, money donations

The Care and Share Food Bank needs some help.

Manager Fern Blaylock said Monday that after that evening’s deliveries the food bank shelves will be nearly empty. Blaylock said that the truck delivery that was received will be gone by Monday night, and the next delivery won’t be for a week and a half.

The food bank is open Mondays at the Church of the Nazarene and is currently assisting some 100-130 families.

Blaylock said that the food bank is in critical need of canned foods and money to purchase meats and perishable goods.

Persons can make donations by calling Blaylock at 633-2742 or bringing canned goods or checks to the food bank distribution center at the church.
