The Community Action Agency, Agen-cy, which handles the county's food pantry, is asking residents for assistance to replenish the pantry. "The Community Action Agency is experiencing an 83 percent per-cent increase in the number of families receiving assistance. This agency currently helps 275 to 300 families with food boxes each month. We have been able to help these families through the generous donations we have received," said Myla Dutton, agency director. Last year, Scouting for Food, BYU, schools, churches, and community com-munity clubs held local food drives, resulting in over $150,000 worth of food being donated. "The Community Action Agency feels the success of their food pantry is a direct result of local citizens' determination to see that all families in need of food receive assistance," Dutton said. Canned fruits, canned meats such as tuna fish, macaroni and cheese, noodles, rice, cereal, and other dry goods are needed. The food pantry cannot accept home-canned or previously opened products. Groups or individual residents resi-dents who would like to donate needed items may contact the Community Action Agency at 373-8200, or may bring items directly to the office at 257 East Center Street in Prove sion and exploration of ideas.
