WACO, TX â There are just seven days left to donate to the 25 News Feed the Need drive, which is dedicated to making sure food pantries across Central Texas have the resources they need to keep community members from going hungry.
25 News has partnered with seven food pantries from across Central Texas: Shepherdâs Heart, The Salvation Army, Caritas, Operation Feeding Temple, Killeen Food Care Center, Helping Hands Ministry in Belton and the Brazos Valley Food Bank.
As Bell County coronavirus cases spike, a Temple non-profit is temporarily closing its doors immediately to prevent community spread.
St. Vincent de Paul of Greater Temple announced Friday the organization would temporarily close its downtown Temple thrift store, 106 W. Ave. D.
Caitlin West, executive director of the organization, said the groupâs board made the hard decision Friday to close the store until the new year starts.
The organizationâs next food bank will be pushed back to Jan. 7.
West said many of the volunteers who help the organization give away food each week, as well as the food bankâs clients, are older and the board didnât want to risk their safety during the ongoing coronavirus surge.
