Food pantry changes

The Polson Loaves and Fish food pantry wants to pass along important information.

The pantry is still open our regular hours, 2-5:45 p.m. on Tuesdays and 10 a.m.-1:45 p.m. on Fridays. However, we are now a drive-through service only. Folks who are already registered need to drive through the main parking lot, around the building, and up to the open garage door at the back. We will verify household ID numbers and deliver boxes or bags of food to each vehicle. The “bread and milk room” is closed for now, but those wanting basics can receive them in their cars as well. Sorry, no shopping, and everyone is asked to stay in their cars.

People who want to register or reregister may do so by joining the line with a picture ID and proof of physical address. Call us at 883-6864 for more information.

Donations are joyfully accepted and can be mailed to or dropped off at the pantry, 904 1st St. E, Polson, during distribution hours or 8:30-11 AM Mondays and Thursdays.

We are blessed by the support from the individuals, organizations, and businesses which have kept us strong. We love your giving hearts and strive to keep our service bountiful and safe.

This information is subject to change, but we will make every effort to stay open to help our families.

When this crisis passes, we may write the world’s biggest thank-you letter. In the meantime, keep finding ways to support each other, including our local businesses. They are absorbing staggering setbacks but still looking out for us. Thank you all!

—Linda Kittle, Polson
