Pantry Update:
As we navigate the challenges posed by the spread of COVID-19, the Board Members of Clarksburg CAN remain committed to supporting the community that relies on us for food supplements. The people we serve are our neighbors, friends, family, church members, and "strangers" that need our help. As such, we plan to remain open for our regular hours, which include the first Saturday of each month from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and the first Tuesday of each month from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.
While the pantry will remain open these days, we want to ensure that we do everything possible to protect our clients, board members and volunteers. As such, we have decided to restrict the number of people volunteering to two board members only. This means that we will no longer have any outside volunteers serving at the pantry for the foreseeable future. In addition, clients will no longer be coming into the pantry to pick up their boxes of food. Instead, we will be offering a curb side pick up service, where clients will stay in their vehicles and pantry volunteers will place pre-packaged boxes of food on the pantry steps for them to pick up as they arrive.
We will also continue to accept food donations. Anyone who is healthy and symptom-free and wishes to donate foods to the pantry can email clarksburgcan@gmail.com and one of our board members can arrange a time for pick up. If you would prefer to drop off donations, there are also blue donation bins located in the vestibule at the main entrance of Greenridge Baptist Church designated for food donations.
We know these are difficult times for everyone and we will continue to do the best we can to serve our community in the safest way possible. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email us at clarksburgcan@gmail.com.
