SPOKANE — The Salvation Army still has plenty of food for vulnerable families on a first-come, first-serve basis.
In an April 26 news release, Salvation Army Director of Development and Communications Brian Pickering said the Salvation Army of Spokane’s Food Pantry has been “blessed with a lot of food donations, but the food needs to go to vulnerable families in a timely fashion.”
Currently, families that are in need of food can stop by the pantry from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. weekdays and receive several weeks of groceries on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Salvation Army’s goal is to have local families save their money for utilities or rent and get their food at The Salvation Army’s Food Bank — which is the largest in Spokane County.
To help with an expected increase of families that will be seeking this food assistance, The Salvation Army is in need of additional volunteers to help get the food out the door and into people’s hands.
