Fire closes the doors of Luxora food pantry

The local source article “Fire closes the doors of Luxora food pantry,” dated December 6, 2014, reports KAIT’s December 6, 2014 report described a fire that closed Gods Angel Ministry Food Pantry in Luxora. Smoke and heat meant all the food had to be discarded, including stock in the freezer. The building had a hole in the ceiling, boarded windows and no working power. Volunteers said they did not know whether it could be repaired or would need rebuilding, and the pantry had no insurance. Families who collected food there each Thursday had lost their regular source of groceries. We serve Luxora, along with Osceola, Blytheville, Wilson, Manila and Leachville in Mississippi County. Northern Delta service also includes Jonesboro, Paragould, Piggott, Corning, Walnut Ridge and Newport, extending through Trumann, Marked Tree and Harrisburg. In the central river plain, we serve Wynne, Forrest City, Marianna and Helena-West Helena, with Brinkley, Clarendon, Augusta, McCrory and Des Arc farther west. Southern routes include Stuttgart and DeWitt, Dumas, McGehee, Arkansas City, Dermott, Lake Village and Eudora. Plans for a displaced pantry should place new deliveries at a usable site with agreed staff access

The December 2014 account described a pantry at a standstill after its supplies were discarded and its premises damaged. Restoring power alone would not create a usable stock room in that building. If a pantry establishes an approved alternative distribution site, temporary mobile refrigeration rental could hold newly accepted perishable groceries there while the longer building decision is made. Arrange receiving access and power before requesting replacement deliveries. Call +1 (866) 216-4667, the phone line is available 24/7, to discuss the holding location and load.
