With how fast things are changing from day to day, the United Way of Clinton County along with the Boys and Girls Club, Center Township, Fire Departments, Rotary and YMCA want to make sure that they keep everyone safe. They will only be passing out food on Monday, March 23, from 5-6:30 p.m. at each of the following locations — .YMCA will be at Eastside Park, Center Township Office and the Boys and Girls Club.
Please remember to bring your own bags, etc. for them to put food in. They are asking that everyone please stay in their vehicles and they will bring the products to your cars. Instead of having food each day, they will put together whatever food they have to help families for the week.
They are struggling with financial needs and food donations. Currently, they are struggling to find enough food on the shelves to provide for their community needs this coming week. If anyone would like to donate to COVID-19 Emergency Fund you may do so through the United Way For Clinton County. Credit card donations can be taken over the phone. Please call our office at (765) 654-5573 for details. The monies donated to the Emergency Fund COVID-19 will go directly to this cause. If there are monetary donations or food left after the cause, then the community partners have decided to distribute the funds to the local school’s backpack programs for our food insecurity families.
They are looking for the following non-perishable items. If you can donate any of these items, please drop them off at the Boys and Girls Club by Friday:
Canned Soup
