This week local food pantries were working overtime to help families.
Many took orders and helped to make sure they were able to put an Easter Dinner on the table.
In preparation for Easter Sunday, the Acme Christian Thrift Store and Food Pantry received a surplus of food donations, but say their turnout was lower than expected.
Food Pantry coordinator, Carol Hockin says, “We think that part of it is because people have gotten stimulus checks. They’re getting more on their BRIDGE cards.”
They typically see about 75-80 families a week.
This week they only served about 30.
