The pantry serves nearly 800 veterans and their families each month from its location on North Street in Lima. While the service will remain the same, the location will not. The property was sold by Mercy Health St. Rita’s, and pantry leaders are now seeking a new building.
“Operation Cool Off” will take place on Saturday, Aug. 16, giving veterans of all ages and their immediate families free entry into the pool from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. With recent extreme temperatures, the event offers a refreshing and relaxing morning for those who served.
