File/ eExtra News

The new concrete parking lot at the Downtown Food Pantry is almost finished and normal operations will resume at their 124 W. Cherry St. location the week of July 25. 

“We appreciate the public’s patience while this project has been done this summer,” said  executive director Allan Hubbard. “We look forward to seeing our customers on the normal  serving days Tuesday, July 26 and Thursday, July 28.” 

All regular volunteers are asked to return per the previous schedule, as well as those who help  bag produce on Mondays at 8:00 a.m. and Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m. 

Hubbard said the contractor still has some work to do but has assured pantry officials it will be  complete with striping in place in time for the July 25 reopening.
