Del Rio Library Opening Food Pantry
With the loss of SNAP benefits coming for Cocke County residents, a local library is stepping up to help. The Marie Ellison Memorial Library in Del Rio is opening a small food pantry in the library. This will be open to Del Rio residents ONLY. According to a post on social media, you don’t need to be a SNAP recipient to use the food pantry, but they are asking you only take what you can use. The food pantry will be open during regular library hours- M,W,F 12pm- 6pm, Saturdays 10 am- 1pm.
The library is asking for donations for that small food pantry, including can openers. They will also take donations of pet food as well. Donations can be dropped off any time during regular library hours.
