The River’s Schedule Changes due to Excessive Heat Warning – August 2023 | The River Food Pantry

Due to the Excessive Heat Warning, The River Food Pantry is making the following adjustments to continue serving those in need while also protecting people’s health and food quality:

  • Munch Mobile Meals: Canceled Tuesday, Aug. 22–Thursday, Aug. 24.
  • Curbside Groceries & FAM (Family At-Home Meals): Rescheduled to 10am–1pm on Wednesday, Aug. 23 and Thursday, Aug. 24. We will follow our regular hours from 10am–3pm on Friday, Aug. 25.
  • Pantry Express: Running on Saturday, Aug. 26 from 11am–2pm.
  • Food NOW (Nights or Weekends): Our emergency food locker program provides a limited supply of food whenever The River is closed. The after-hours lockers are located on the front of our building on Darwin Road.

If you receive an overnight box, food from a locker, or visit Pantry Express, it will not count towards your weekly visit to The River. Please check our website and social media for updates.

Thank you for your flexibility,
The River Staff
