As many parts of our area are opening back up in full force, remember your local food bank. The Forney Food Pantry is always accepting donations of food and toiletries. This valuable community resource assists many local families and individuals who are at risk of being food-insecure. While the Forney Food Pantry will accept any unexpired food donations, they do have a list of most commonly needed items. Additionally, financial donations can be made to the Food Pantry through their website, www.forneyfoodpantryinc. org. For more information, call (972) 552-2011.
