From staff reports
A new food pantry will be available on Lady’s Island twice each month at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Beaufort (UUFB), 178 Sams Point Road (one mile north of Publix).
Second Helpings will deliver food to UUFB every first and third Saturday of the month. Sign-ups for groceries begin at 11 a.m. Pantry items will vary week to week, but fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, breads, pastries and other items are expected to be available. They will be distributed inside the Fellowship Hall at UUFB.
All are welcome – without judgment. Applications or identifications are not required.
The partnership with Second Helpings is part of UUFB’s ministry of love, service and justice. Forebearers include, Laura Towne, founder of Penn Center and Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross. For more information visit www.uubeaufort.org.
