Changes During Packers Ave Railroad Construction Oct. 27–30 | The River Food Pantry

Dear Clients,

Due to construction on Packers Ave at the railroad tracks, The River’s entrance will be closed Monday, Oct. 27 through Thursday, Oct. 30.

Traffic is being routed onto International Ln and then Darwin Rd. Due to this temporary change, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND THURSDAY pantry traffic will enter on Darwin Rd and exit onto Packers Ave.

Our curbside groceries will only offer “Everything” and not “Choice” due to the shorter space available for a line of cars. To-go meals through FAM will be available as usual. The walk-up awnings will be open as well.

We ask for your patience and flexibility as we navigate this significant change.

Thank you,
The River Staff
