After weeks of preparations, the new pantry for the Emmett Valley Friendship Coalition is now operational at their new location with the Gem County Senior Community Center, 710 S. Johns Ave.
The new facilities for the EVFC food pantry are operational and conveniently located on the same site as the weekly Friendship Dinners provided by the organization. Expanded and better organized space is expected to better serve the growing needs in the community.
The pantry is open for distribution every Tuesday from 3:15 p.m. until 5 p.m. The EVFC serves a free hot meal from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Senior Center on the same days.
Even though Christmas and New Year’s fall on Tuesdays this year, the pantry and the Fellowship dinner will be open as usual on both dates.
