Food Shelf to try some evening hours

The McLeod Emergency Food Shelf will be trying out some evening hours at both its locations — Glencoe and Hutchinson.
Executive Director Lennie Albers said that evening hours for both accepting donations and distributing food will be held each Thursday starting Thursday, Jan. 8. Donations will be accepted from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursdays, while distributions will be from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Albers said both donors and clients have been asking for some evening hours.
“It was a matter of finding people who are willing to help out,” said Albers.
Albers said the new hours are not an expansion of the current hours, but rather evening hours will replace morning hours on Thursdays.
“That just seemed to be the best day for us,” she said. “On other days, we have trucks coming from Second Harvest or other things going on.”
