Food Pantry Update

Sorry folks. This information should have been sent out before the Holidays, but though late, it is still pertinent. A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Brenda Davidge for all her research into whether or not to establish a food pantry at OCS.

After much consideration it seems that developing a food bank at Odyssey isn't feasible at this time. Still, we feel it's important to inform our Odyssey community of other food banks available to them. Below is a sampling of some local food banks. For a more comprehensive list please go to http://www.lafightshunger.org Click on pantry locator and type in your zip code. This service is free to the community. Though you might want to call first to confirm the times and dates of distribution.

Thank you very much
