ACTS Serving Thanksgiving Lunch; Closed Friday, Nov. 28

/by

Area Christians Together in Service is open for lunch this week through Thanksgiving, and ACTS Executive Director Thomas Blackwell is feeling “beyond blessed” with donations recently that clearly show the love and support from the community to the food pantry, which also provides a hot midday meal to those in need from 11 a.m. to 12 noon.

Donations continue to be needed and gratefully accepted, but Blackwell says ACTS has an abundance of canned corn, green peas and green beans.

“We’ve got those coming out of our ears,” Blackwell said, in reference to supplies on the food pantry shelves.

“We want to be good stewards of your donations, and we have more of these three items than we can use. Even if they don’t expire until 2030, we just have too many to continue accepting them at this time,” Blackwell said.

“God bless you all,” Blackwell said. “Thank you for your big hearts. We pray you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.”

County’s Food Distribution Event Cancelled; Donations Will Go To HVRPD Holiday Food Drive To Help Those In Need

/by

Vance County Manager C. Renee Perry announced Tuesday afternoon that the food distribution scheduled for Friday has been cancelled.

In an email, Perry said, “While our employees and community members have contributed generously, the current volume does not allow for a large-scale distribution event.”

Donations are still welcomed and will be accepted through Thursday at 5 p.m., Perry stated, adding that the county will partner with the Henderson-Vance Recreation and Parks Department and will give all food donations to the HVRPD holiday food drive.

“We appreciate the community’s support and understanding as we work collaboratively to ensure families receive assistance during the holiday season,” Perry said.
