Lewis County Food Pantry Network offers expanded hours |
In an effort to
serve more families during these economically tough times, the Lewis County
Food Pantry Network offers expanded hours of operation. The network
includes food pantries in Harrisville, Croghan, Copenhagen, and Port Leyden,
which are entirely staffed with volunteers. Each pantry also offers an ‘open hours’ schedule once each month, which
makes it more convenient for families who need to access food. Families
can also meet by appointment, if needed. If your family lives in Lewis
County, click here to learn how to access a
food pantry near you.
A fifth pantry in the network is located in New Bremen on the campus of
Opportunities, which continues to be open Monday through Friday from 8 AM—4
PM, except on major holidays.
Other pantries in the county operate independently from the
network. Click here for more
information. |

In 2008, 4,157 people
received food through the Lewis County Food Pantry network. Enough
food for approximately 56,985 meals was distributed. |
