Dayton Food Pantry at Sutro Elementary School to be held on Jan. 22
On Saturday, Jan. 22 only, the Dayton Food Pantry will operate from Sutro Elementary School at 190 Dayton Village Parkway from noon until 4 p.m.
Sutro Elementary School offered an indoor venue for the pantry on January 22 so that people can come in out of the cold January weather.
“The pantry’s usual location at 4 Enterprise Way is wonderfully located, but it is too small to accommodate the large numbers of people who come on our big distribution day on the third Thursday of each month, “ explained Freida Carbery, director of the Pantry. “We owe special thanks for the use of Sutro Elementary to Bill Bruni, Sutro counselor, Cheryl Sample, Sutro Principal, and Caroline McIntrosh, Lyon Superintendent.”
On the other days, the Food Pantry will be open for emergency food needs as usual, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 4 Enterprise Way and Highway 50 (east of Smith’s Grocery) Monday –Friday. The building space is donated by local business BCB Ventures.
Community Supports Pantry: The help of hundreds of individuals and groups continues to keep the Pantry going – Dayton schools, service clubs, businesses, youth leadership groups, churches, nonprofits, law enforcement, etc. volunteer, lead food drives and benefits for the pantry.
Large recent donations have included generous donations from James Gaskets of Dayton, Eugene and Lois Butler, The Bookworm bookstore of Dayton, Soroptimists International of the Comstock, Joni Kaiser, Tom Lake, Cub Scouts Pack 100, Dayton Golf Course, and the staff of State Division of Health Care Financing Policy, among many others.
