POLSON — Saturday is the first day of fall and the harvest is well underway. If you have fresh garden produce you can donate to the center, bring it in. We are also getting a good response from those who are repurposing those green grocery bags for use in commodity distributions.
The membership drive is in full swing, and we are headed for a record year in membership. Speaking of records, the center hit an all-time high in meals served last month, with an average of about 90 meals per day. We are so thankful for the volunteer delivery people. Could you take a route once a week or fill in as a substitute driver? Routes are in or near Polson and take between 60 and 90 minutes to complete.
Flu and/or pneumonia shots are available on Sept. 28, from 10 a.m. to noon. Bring your Medicare card for cost-free vaccinations.
