OTHELLO — The Othello Food Bank will start a new service for seniors, opening just for them on Monday afternoons beginning Sept. 14.

Food bank director Sharon Mobley said the food bank will be open to seniors from noon to 3 p.m. on Mondays by appointment only.

It’s one way the food bank is trying to adapt during a strange year.

“If it works, we’ll probably add another day,” she said.

Othello Food Bank is at 949 E. Main St., Othello; 509-488-6044.
