Local philanthropist Evelyn Mount is now giving out food and other necessities on a weekly basis because she says she's running out of room to store it.
"The contributions are coming in from Walmart and what the people are contributing in the areas well the people can't get it because I have to have a place to put it, it's too much for here," says Mount.
Mount says she'll be giving out food at the community center at Paradise Park every Friday from noon to four thanks to a weekly donation from Walmart and other community donations.
But along with the food donations, she also needs help storing it.
So, she's asking anyone that can help donate space to let her know because her home just isn't big enough anymore.
And she's also looking for volunteers to help distribute to those in need.
To help with either, just call 356-0238 or stop by her house at 2530 Cannan Street.
