Gena Cooper and Sunny Howland prepare bags of food for patrons of the Delta Food Pantry. The two are members of Altrusa International of Delta, a service organization that supplies volunteers to the food pantry on a weekly basis. For many years, the food pantry has been headquartered at St. Michael’s Catholic Church. But the church is about to embark on a major remodeling project that will force the food pantry to relocate. Whether the move is permanent or temporary has yet to be seen, said Marvin Cox, financial secretary for the Delta Food Pantry. In the meantime, the non-profit organization is looking for a possible replacement location with a minimum of 600 square feet, electricity and room for shelving, preferably as a donation. For more information, contact Cox at 874-7845 or 208-3650.
