HARRISON The Agnes M. Lindsay Trust has awarded a $25,000 grant to the Harrison Food Bank to assist with COVID-19 operations. With demand for support increasing and winter conditions already here, it is not a minute too soon, according to its founder and Operations Manager Sandy Swett.
The grant makes it possible for the food bank to place a 40-foot conex storage box in the parking lot, parallel to its existing cold storage unit, and build a roof over it so volunteers can load clients’ vehicles under cover in inclement weather.
Swett said the organization applied for the grant last fall but had to get approval from the Harrison Planning Board before it could move forward with its plans.
