Hats, gloves, socks added to Putnam County Rotary’s Little Free Pantry in Standard

Residents asked to donate items to help keep those in need warm this winter

Medicare Open Enrollment is Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. Each year, Medicare beneficiaries should review available Part D plans to ensure they have the best plan for their needs and that they are not overpaying.

Those in need of a hat, pair of gloves or warm pair of socks are invited to visit Putnam County Rotary’s Little Free Pantry at the Putnam County Community Center, 128 N. First St., Standard.

The club has added a limited supply of winter-wear gifts — and welcomes others to donate new and unused hats, gloves and socks — to help give warmth to those in need this holiday season.

Visitors to the Little Free Pantry are asked to take no more than one of each type of item so that others may also benefit.

The Rotary’s Little Free Pantries in Standard and also in the entryway of the McNabb Library, 322 W. Main St., continue to offer emergency food supplies 24-7, year-round, for those who need an item or two.

Putnam County residents are also qualified to visit the Putnam County Food Pantry at the United Church of Christ, 103 Church St., Granville, 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Saturdays once a month for full bags of groceries. The two programs help assure residents in need will share in celebration of this holiday season.
