The Salvation Army food pantry recently alerted administration it is barely capable of putting together complete food boxes for families. "We have odds and ends, cans here or there, but barely enough to put together three full meals in a food box," said Sandy Leavell, director of Social Services for The Salvation Army. "We are desperately needing the community to donate food!"
