| FOOD PANTRY NEWS |

Body
The food pantry has been busy these last two months and is still in need of donations. A hot item is pancake mix and syrup, as this makes a great meal for any time of the day. Please drop off your donations during the pantry’s open hours or call (308) 750-6439 for an appointment. They also have one major change for those who participate in the produce pickup, a change to the date of the January Produce Giveaway. It will be Thursday, January 4th, instead of on Wednesday. The board of directors at the Howard Greeley County Food Pantry would like to wish everyone a safe holiday season.
