Starting today, everyone is encouraged to support the Action Resource Center (ARC) while using the Greene County Community Center.

Director Vicky Lautner says from December 21st through January 3rd, anyone that brings in at least one non-perishable food item can use the community center for free that day. She adds that this is a great way for them to help out the local food pantry.

“They are just very appreciative of whatever we can do for them. And I’m sure the people in the community that need those things can benefit from what we’re doing at the recreation center.”

Last year, they were able to give two grocery carts full of food items to the ARC.

January 2nd and 3rd is the annual free admission weekend at the community center, where people don’t have to bring in an item for the food pantry.  However, Lautner encourages people to donate a food item that weekend as well.
