UPDATE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Lakeland Pantry will be issuing their Easter Gift Certificates starting Tuesday, June 2nd for those households who were in on one of these dates: March 31st, April 7th and April 9th.
As we continue to work through the COVID-19 crisis, we are making a few changes. Starting Tuesday, June 2nd, we will be offering a limited selection of clothing at the check-in door. We will start with toddlers for the first three distributions in June and go from there. This will be limited to one item per toddler on the card. We cannot provide clothing for a child not on the card.
As of Tuesday, June 16th we will be going back to our normal hours of operation - 8:30am to 11:30am on Tuesdays and Thursdays we are open we will go back to 3:30pm to 6:00pm. Our recipients are not utilizing the additional half hour.
We remain drive-up at least through the end of September at which time we will evaluate along with DHS.
As always, we thank you for being patient under these circumstances.
