Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, a list of resources available for residents of Dent County suffering from food insecurity has been compiled by the Salem Public Library. Remember to lean on neighbors, friends, and family in times of crisis, and that it is never shameful to ask for help.
All deserve to eat, and there is more than enough to go around.
