The members of the St. Vincent de Paul Lincoln/Weston Food Pantry wish to acknowledge the generous donation of a handsome awning by Lincoln resident Chris Knollmeyer. Chris not only provided the awning, but also took care of its installation.

Due to the pandemic, all of our food distribution had to be moved outside because we were simply too small to accommodate social distancing within the confines of the pantry. Once the very hot weather arrived, and with the occasional summer rainstorm, we realized the need for some protection for clients and volunteers standing outside during distribution.
As he has done frequently since the pantry expansion, Chris stepped in to provide exactly what was needed. We are grateful to all of our benefactors, and during this heatwave, especially to Chris and his employees.
