A note regarding COVID-19
The Board of the Denton Community Food Center is committed to taking extra precautions to keep our volunteers, clients and food supply safe. We are closely monitoring the latest developments related to COVID-19 and following the guidelines of government and public health officials.
We are cleaning and sanitizing surfaces regularly and asking that everyone wash their hands often and thoroughly. Please stay home if you are feeling ill.
