Trinity United Methodist Church, with help from First Presbyterian Church and others, will conduct the monthly Loaves & Fishes food bank from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Sept. 12. When arriving, enter on Tech Drive. It is requested that people not arrive before 7:30 a.m.
Drivers should remain in their vehicles and wear masks for safety. No appointment and no identification are required. There also are no income requirements. Each vehicle will receive one box of food, including nonperishable items and fresh produce. The food is provided by Food Bank for the Heartland
