Just a reminder that we no longer are filing boxes or bags for our clients. Everyone is coming inside. Now you need to bring your own bags for groceries. We no longer furnish them. Boxes are good to bring also. We are open every Wednesday from 9AM to 5PM. We close promptly at 5.

Many of you picked up an application from the Choctaw Food Bank. Please return the completed form. I need these to turn in reports to the Little Rock Food Bank. If you haven't picked up a form, do so and go to the parking lot and fill it out and walk it back to Diane at the window. Everyone is considered new the first of January. So please complete the form immediately and return it. Thanks a lot. Floye Brewer

A big shout out to Goode's Cash Savers. They hoasted a community food drive for Choctaw Food Bank today, November 6. A special shout out to Shae who organized this Thanksgiving harvest. Shae and her friends gathered and delivered to the Choctaw Food Bank this afternoon, a whopping 1,200 pounds of dry canned products. Once again we cannot sing praises enough to our generous community for helping their fellow humans.

Some new applicants have brought letters from landlords or friends stating their address. This is not acceptable. We need a currant drivers license or a utility bill with your correct address on it. Something official.
