The Warden Food Pantry is open every Thursday between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. to help Warden residents who find themselves with a little more month at the end of their cash, according to Pastor Ed Backell of the Warden Community Church. It is located in the 500 block of S. Maple Avenue in downtown Warden, at that street's inersection with E. Fifth Street.
Pastor Ed Backell, coordinator for the Warden Food Pantry, oversees the shelves in the food pantry’s building at the corner of Fifth Street and Maple Drive. Shelves were a little bare last week and the food pantry could use donations from the community or area businesses.
WARDEN — As Ed Backell walks up to the front door of the tiny Warden Food Pantry, he looks down to see a yellow plastic sack sitting on the front porch.
