Lack of funds forces food pantry cutbacks
A Lawrence food pantry will be reducing its service as it works to find new finances to keep up with demand for food.
Trinity Interfaith Food Pantry will temporarily close its Thursday food pantry, organizers of the pantry wrote in an e-mail to supporters.
The program will continue to operate from 10 a.m. to noon on Tuesdays at Trinity Lutheran Church, 1011 Vt. The pantry also will open the second Saturday of October, November and December to accommodate people who cannot access the pantry during weekdays.
