Hi, this is Dennis Weidler, coordinator of the Homer Community Food Pantry to bring you up to date on our services during the challenges of dealing with COVID-19.
Yes, we are still providing food each Monday.
The major differences being that the service is now drive-through or walk through or even taxi-through.
All food items will be delivered to clients in specialty marked traffic lanes
in front of the Homer United Methodist Church.
And, other major differences: The time of service,
we've expanded from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. on Mondays, to 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
This, we hope, will eliminate any traffic backups on East End Road.
All non-food service will be drive-through as well.
Clients should pull into a parking space on the west side of the Homer United Methodist church and call 235-1968. Our representative will meet with you at your vehicle.
The food pantry has also begun food box delivery.
If you need home delivery of an emergency food box or a senior box
call 235-1968 and we'll make arrangements.
The food pantry will continue to receive donations of canned foods and goods like pasta, rice, or beans.
But please, take all non-food items to the Homer Thrift Store, the Salvation Army store, or the recycling area at the landfill.

Thanks to the city of Homer, as well as the Homer Foundation
and our many generous supporters who partner with us to meet
the needs of our community.
