Dine at Mason area restaurants next week and help the Mason Food Pantry.
Fifteen local restaurants will donate between 10-15 percent of sales when a voucher is presented on select days through Oct. 22-28 as part of Dine Out Mason.
The Mason Food Pantry serves more than 500 people who live in the Mason School District each month. While pantry operators used to see mostly unemployed poor people, those numbers are changing to people who have been laid off or elderly people who struggle to pay rent and buy medicine, said Director Gina Brown.
“We’ve had a tremendous increase of is the middle class,” she said Brown. “Our goal is to get them sustainable. We’re set up to be temporary help, but some people need more help than that. We’ve gone from short-term immediate help to long-term assistance.”
