For the rest of May, The Foodbank will be open Monday through Thursday. The drive-thru pantry will be closed on Memorial Day, said Lee Lauren Truesdale, chief development officer at The Foodbank.

From May 11 to May 14, The Foodbank saw about 1,200 households, Truesdale said.

Truesdale said The Foodbank has lifted the 30 day service limit, so people may visit the drive thru as often as needed.
