Food Pantry
The Santa Clarita Veteran Services Collaborative’s Food Pantry is bringing in additional items for veterans. The Collaborative now offers refrigerated foods including sandwiches, heat & eat meals, salads, platters, etc. in addition to its usual baked goods like breads, rolls, cupcakes, pies, cookies, bagels, muffins, and brownies. There are also shelves stocked with canned/packaged goods including vegetables, fruit, soups, pasta, rice, dried beans, etc.
The Food Pantry hours of operation are 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Collaborative brings in baked goods three days a week. Until restrictions are lifted, veterans and their families can come in and complete a checklist of the foods they would like, and a volunteer will fill two shopping bags with your selections.

This pause will last until the FDA and CDC complete their review, which is expected to take several days. Vaccine providers in Los Angeles County will contact patients about rescheduling or providing a new appointment for Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.
These reactions are extremely rare, as nearly 7,000,000 people have received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in the United States to date. People who received the vaccine in the last 3 weeks should look for any symptoms of these unusual clots, including severe headaches, abdominal or leg pain, and shortness of breath, and contact their medical provider if symptoms develop.
