It has already given away food to over 800 families this month.

Volunteers are still hoping to help those that are still in need ahead of thanksgiving.

Faith food pantry usually operates with up to 140 volunteers at one time.

But most of them are older and therefore in the high risk catagory for contracting the coronavrus.

The pantry will have emergency giveaway here on wednesday at 11 am.

Each family will get two boxes--one filled with refirgerated items like produce and milk and another filled with dry food and non- perishables.
