Bluffton Community Assistance Program’s food pantry operated in safety mode during January and February, according to Ed Yeager, board president.
Due to covid-19 cautions, during the first two months of 2021 the pantry provided its clients with Community Market gift cards rather than inviting clients to the panty, located at St. John’s United Church of Christ.
Bluffton Presbyterian Church has installed a new electronic yard sign for the purpose of connecting with and encouraging the local community, according to Rev. Karol Farris Schilling, pastor.
"Both church and community messages will be displayed on the sign," she said.
A policy is in place for community requests. Non-profit and public organizations may fill out an application to be considered for a display in the message rotation at no cost. The form will be made available at www.blufftonpc.org.
Beacon Life Ministries, 125 N. Main St., Bluffton, will hold a program titled "How you can boost your immune system in a pandemic."
The free program is from 7 to 8:30 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 25, presented by Bobbie Glon. She is a registered nurse from Lima, and is a clinical specialist and professional health coach at research-based health care organization Virta Health.
