Posted by Fred Steiner on March 20, 2020 - 11:46am

Bluffton's Monday, March 23, council meeting will be a first for the village.

It is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. (a change from 7 p.m.) and will take place in the police garage behind the town hall, according to Kevin Nickel, village fiscal officer.

"The intention is for this to be a very short, stand up meeting, for the purposes of approving the bills to be paid," he told the Icon.

"It is unlikely that there will be any other action unless some is needed related to COVID-19 or other emergency action to keep government functioning."

Food pantry ready for Saturday's food distribution

This month volunteers have pre-packaged food bags for clients
Posted by Fred Steiner on March 19, 2020 - 3:17pm

Bluffton Community Assistance Program’s food pantry is preparing for Saturday’s pantry distribution in a new way, according to Ed Yeager, board president.

“For the safety of our clients, volunteers have pre-packaged food bags for pickup on Saturday,” he said. “The pre-packaged food will be distributed beginning at 8 a.m. on Saturday once clients arrive.”

The food bags contain the same amount of pantry items that are available each month, it’s just that this month volunteers made the selections rather than clients.
