Two Newtown food pantries are combining.  Effective March 12th, the Salvation Army Food Pantry, maintained through Newtown Social Services, will close.  Food stock will be sent to the shelves of FAITH Food Pantry.  The Food Assistance Immediate Temporary Help pantry is located on Church Hill Road.  The Newtown Bee reports that Newtown Human Services Director Natalie Jackson made this a priority after filling the new position last year.  The Social Service Department moved from below the police station to new offices at the Newtown Community Center.  Salvation Army pantry clients using the services of FAITH Food Pantry will have to adjust to the one-time monthly visit restriction.  Jackson told the Bee that if there are transportation or timing barriers getting to FAITH, the Department will work to alleviate the challenges.
