Editor’s note: On Saturday, May 14, 2022, the National Association of Letter Carriers invite you to place a bag of nonperishable food items by your mailbox. The annual Second Saturday in May collection day supplies donations to local food pantries across the Nation.

Morrison Friends Food Pantry has a new name! We will now be known as Morrison Charitable Food Pantry NFP. We are still based at Morrison United Methodist Church, 200 W. Lincolnway, Morrison IL, although we hope to move to a larger space in the future.

Our hours are 8:00-10:00 a.m., on Thursdays.

Families should drive up to the (north side) back door of the church, on W. Knox Street. A Pantry volunteer will come out to inquire about what your needs are, so you do not need to leave your car. If you have any questions about the MCFP or donations, please contact President Deb Wikoff, 815-718-5643; VP Kathy Vandervinnie, 815-631-8592; Treasurer Cal Vandermyde, 815-631-8592. You may also send a letter to Morrison United Methodist Church, 200 W. Lincolnway, Morrison IL.

These steadfast volunteers and officers remain at your service.
