Grantfork news, Sept. 6 edition

Highland Food Pantry

The Highland Food Pantry thanks everyone that helps to keep the service going for so many in need at this time.

Although we appreciate all donations, it would help considerably if organized groups could donate certain food groups each week. For example, in order to place food items on the shelves, there is a need for 50 of the same item.

Right now the pantry is in need of side dishes: mac and cheese, broccoli and rice, etc. Each week the items will change as another item needs to be added.

Thank you to everyone that donates.
