Tioga Rural Ministry Reopens Food Pantry for In-Person Visits By Appointment

SHARE NOW

Tioga County Rural Ministry (TCRM) is once again allowing individuals who need food to come into the pantry. With the onset of COVID-19 in March, TCRM adapted operations and limited access to the building in order to protect staff, volunteers and the community. While TCRM still desires to protect the community, it is now adapting to the colder weather.

TCRM will allow 2 individuals at a time into the building. It is recommended calling the TCRM office at 607-687-3021 to schedule an appointment. This will facilitate the process and shorten any possible wait time in cold weather. Face masks are required. Members will have the opportunity to choose their food from the available options. Bring reusable grocery bags. If members prefer not to enter the building, they may complete a food preference form and the volunteers will pack a food supply according to their preferences and bring it out to them.
