DAYTON — The Dayton Metro Library has partnered with The Foodbank to become an official Pantry Partner location in Montgomery County.
Ten select branch locations will open a monthly rotating schedule beginning Monday Oct. 17.
Adults in need of food assistance who live in Montgomery County will be eligible to stop into one of the Pantry Partner-designated branch locations and pick up an emergency box.
People may visit a pantry once a month, must be 18 years of age or older, and need to bring a photo ID and proof of residency for Montgomery County.
The boxes contain only food items, but during collection drives DML collected personal products, so people can request those at their pantry location and receive them on a first come basis.
