Editor,
Recently, I had the pleasure of engaging in a conversation with a member of the Board of Directors of the Polson Food Pantry, Merle Parise. Merle thoughtfully explained how the accelerating demand for meat is being overwhelmed by the rapidly expanding list of pantry clients. He suggested that the pantry would enthusiastically welcome any ground wild game burger (processed in certified meat processor facilities) to supplement the dwindling supplies of ground hamburger from the pantry’s more traditional sources.
He also noted that the Christmas baskets provided to the pantry’s clients in the month of December will need donations of frozen turkeys to complete these much-welcomed supplements to the client’s regular supplies of less elegant staples.
If you have any questions regarding the needs of the pantry, please contact Merle or the pantry’s manager, Bryan River, at 883-6864.
