Council posts volunteer request after Portland Cares pantry reports aging volunteer base
Summary
Council agreed to publicize a volunteer and donation drive after a member reported Portland Cares food pantry needs more help; council said it would share contact information on e-news and the bulletin board.
A council member asked the Cortland City Council to publicize volunteer needs at the Portland Cares food pantry, saying many volunteers are in their 70s and that one recent volunteer had just had a kidney transplant but still came to help.
Council members said they would add the pantry's contact information to the city e-news bulletin and the community bulletin board and would work with the speaker to pass contact details to local schools for possible student volunteer hours.
No vote was required; council agreed to post contact information and consider recognition for long-serving volunteers.
