Community Action Services and Food Bank changes operating hours

r Beginning Jan. 3, Community Action Services and Food Bank updated its client hours to add Wednesday evenings and one monthly Saturday.

These changes were instituted to make food and other programs such as emergency assistance and the financial learning center more accessible to people who are not able to come in during regular business hours.rThe change will also make it easier for people to drop off in-kind donations and monetary donations as well as volunteer. Community Action Services needs individual volunteers during its business hours to keep the food pantry running. The agency will continue have evening volunteer groups scheduled Monday through Thursday.

The new hours are as follows: Mondays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (closed at 3 p.m. every second Monday); Tuesdays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.: Thursdays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Fridays, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.; every third Saturday, 9 to 11 a.m.

This is a change from the old hours which were 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays and every third Wednesday.

Community Action Services is located at 815 S. Freedom Boulevard in Provo.
