Gleaners food giveaway for seniors set at Armory

Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana will have a Senior Mobile Pantry for Putnam County residents age 55 and older on Thursday, Feb. 19.

Gleaners is again partnering with the Putnam County Emergency Food Pantry. The latest venture is set for Thursday at the National Guard Armory (northeast corner of Arlington Street and Shadowlawn Avenue in Greencastle), beginning with registration at 10 a.m.

The latest time for pick-up will be 12:30 p.m. The program will end at 1 p.m. due to other commitments at the Armory.

To receive food, residents must present an ID offering proof of age and residency. Participants are asked to bring their own bags or boxes to hold the food.

All persons are asked to use the front door of the Armory (facing Arlington Street) due to trucks and vehicles parked in the rear.

Seniors must come in person in order to receive food. There will be no substitute pick-up for those unable to attend themselves.
