In doing so, they have started their own food bank that is open to everyone. It is open the first and third Wednesday of every month. When funds allow they also help those in need with electricity bills or firewood. Additionally, if they cannot provide help they try to guide people to other helpful resources to get their needs met. If people would like to get involved with this organization they meet Wednesday nights at 6 p.m. the first and third Wednesdays of the month.
The Community Center is still looking for items to build the haunted house, people to help build the set and volunteers to act. Items they are looking for include 2x2s 2x4s, plywood, black plastic or tarps, screws, foggers, black, grey and white latex paint, and paint brushes.
