The Webb Community Food Pantry, located at St. Bartholomew's Church, in Old Forge, is always in need of additional non-perishable food items. The services of the food pantry have been in great demand this year and are in need of substantial replenishment.
On Friday, July 1, The Kiwanis Club of the Central Adirondacks is sponsoring its 8th annual Food Kart Day. Kiwanis members and other volunteers will be stationed at DiOrio's Supermarket in Old Forge, Kalil's Market in Inlet and Kinney Drugs in Old Forge. The Kiwanians have shopping carts available to collect food donations for the Webb Community Food Pantry.
Kiwanis volunteers will be in place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. As shoppers enter the stores they will be provided with a list of suggested, non-perishable, food items that are needed by the Webb Community Food Pantry. The shoppers will be asked to purchase an extra item or two and to deposit them in the Kiwanis Food Karts as they leave the store.
At the end of the day, the food items will be delivered to the Webb Community Food Pantry, which is coordinated by Father Shane Lynch, at St. Bartholomew's Church in Old Forge for distribution as needed.
If you would like to volunteer to help with this food collection project phone Bill Baumann at 617 834-1232.
