Many individuals and families face hunger at times. Below is a partial listing of local food banks and options for those in need of food. Days and times of operation are subject to change.
Mr. Goodman, you can take your old electronics to the Apple Store at Jordan Creek Mall to be safely recycled. All the hard drives will be destroyed, and the devices will be taken apart and anything that can be recycled will be. What is left will be disposed of without going to a landfill. – Derek Davenport
