1. The City Of Walker is starting its own Little Free Food Pantry and needs donations to help fill it.
We're talking non-expired, non-perishable food items, as well as toiletries and personal hygiene items. Right now, the pantry is in a cabinet inside the lobby of the Walker Ice and Fitness Center on Remembrance Road.
Anyone needing help or wanting to donate can do so at the pantry seven days a week. It's open from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. during the week, and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the weekend.
