distribution of food to clients
The Nazareth Area Food
Bank has resumed the distribution of food to clients after a four-month
suspension of regular operations due to precautions taken over COVID-19.
Food is once again
given out on the morning and evening of the second Tuesday of every month, the morning of the Wednesday
afterward and at a new time -- the morning of the Saturday afterward. Times
are as follows: 7:30 to 10 a.m. on
Tuesday mornings; 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday evenings; 7:30 to 10 a.m. on
Wednesday morning and 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday morning.
Also, the Food Bank has
implemented new policies and procedures for its food distributions.
Clients are asked to
stay in their cars when they arrive in the parking lot of the Food Bank
building at 529 S. Main Street in Nazareth. A volunteer will ask clients
their names and addresses and bags of groceries will be brought to clients'
cars. This to protect both clients and volunteers.
Meantime, vegetables
grown in the Food Bank garden are being distributed from 6 to 7 p.m. every
Tuesday and from 9 to 11 a.m. every Saturday. Again, clients are asked to
remain in their cars and volunteers will hand them a bag of vegetables.
Further, the Food Bank
has resumed accepting donations of non-perishable food items from 5:30 to 7
p.m. every Tuesday and 9 to 11 a.m. every Friday and Saturday.
Also, please note that the Nazareth Area Food Bank is a participating member organization of AmazonSmile, an arm of the world's largest e-tailer that channels charitable contributions our way on the basis of shopping done online at AmazonSmile.com.
