Lincoln Food Pantry - St. Vincent de Paul

​

"Since we have such a small space at the pantry, we are not setting open times for people to come in for food, for safety reasons, but rather asking them to contact us so we can make arrangements to meet them, personally. In extreme cases we can deliver to them.  

One of our volunteers delivers to homebound. I personally contact the client and compile a list of things they need and secure a time they will be there to receive the food. (I attach a list that can be used to make their order). Also, we are willing to contact the clients, make up bags for them with items on their list, and have them pick up these bags at the pantry at a designated time. If there is a big need for home deliveries, other volunteers will step in to help with this function. Every one of our volunteers has been CORI checked."

-- Karen Boyce, Lincoln Food Pantry Coordinator
