Items Needed Now

Eastside is currently in need of donations of cold cereal and canned vegetables.  Supplies of these items from Tarrant Area Food Bank are sporadic, and we have had to rely on individual and group donations for these things.  We are also low on hearty soups.  You will be welcome to donate these items on weekdays between 8AM and noon at the door marked “Donations.”

Thank you for making it possible for Eastside to help feed people.

 

New Operating Hours

Eastside’s operating hours have changed because of an increase in number of clients.  We are now beginning to see clients at 8:00 AM.  We will stop sign-ins at 11:00 for everyone, so that clients can complete the process of signing in, receiving clothing if desired, and receiving food by noon.

Updated Procedures at Eastside

All clients must now check in through the office door (near Putnam Street),  including those who want only a sack lunch and no clothing.  They should line up outside the pantry door as usual.

We can allow only 6 clients in the waiting room at any time; others must wait their turn outside.  Masks are still required for entry into the building, and social distancing must be maintained at all times.  Children are still not allowed inside the building.

We appreciate the patience of our clients during this unusual time of inconvenience for everyone.
