Social distancing is becoming routine on Martha’s Vineyard as social service agencies adjust to the coronavirus pandemic Food service agencies are readjusting.
At present the Island Food Pantry is will remain open to meet the growing demand during the Covid-19 pandemic.
People on Martha’s Vineyard are receiving food aid in numbers that local agencies have never seen before. In January the Island Food Pantry served more than 1,000 Vineyard residents.
As the Island’s new community health nurse, West Tisbury native Lila Fischer said she is seeing the Vineyard in a whole new light.
Every year Armen Hanjian gives a talk to the second graders at the Oak Bluffs School about the Island Food Pantry. One year, a little boy came up and asked him to autograph his hand.
It was another busy year at the Island Food Pantry, a community-wide organization that feeds those in need.
The year proved similar to last year; there were 2,405 visits, which fed 505 family units, including at least 250 children.
