Drive Up Food Pantry Runs Out Of Supplies in Less Than An Hour

The Multicultural Family Center hosted its second drive-up food pantry of the summer on Thursday.  About 75 to 100 families were given boxes of food in less than an hour, with the center running out of supplies before the pantry’s projected 1 p.m. end time. Just before noon, about 50 cars still were waiting in line. Several members of the center’s staff expressed sadness at having to turn away so many people. Community members received boxes of dairy products, produce, dry goods, meat and bread supplied by St. Stephen’s Food Bank.
