Resident urges reopening of Dundy County Food Pantry after volunteer injury; lease due in September
Summary
At the July 20 commissioners meeting a volunteer injury and ongoing closure at the Food Pantry prompted a public plea to restore in-person access; the pantry’s lease with Dundy County is set to expire in September, a county official said.
Amy Frederick told commissioners the county Food Pantry remains closed to patrons after water damage and floor removal forced volunteers to pack boxes for pickup, and she said a volunteer was injured when they fell over one of those boxes. Frederick urged the board to allow patrons back into the pantry so people in need can access food directly.
Chairman Sye Tecker and other commissioners heard the comment during the public-comment portion of the July 20 meeting. The transcript notes that pantry volunteers currently assemble boxes for pickup and that the pantry’s lease with Dundy County expires in September. The commissioners did not take a formal action during the meeting but discussed the matter as part of routine business.
The board approved routine claims and other agenda items before recessing to the Board of Equalization; no formal motion about the Food Pantry was recorded. The record of the meeting and the clerk’s office contain further details, and the pantry’s lease date was presented to the board as a matter for future attention.
