Now that the federal government has reopened, workers are returning to their jobs for the first time in more than a month.

That doesn’t mean they’re getting their back pay immediately.

The Food Bank of Western New York will continue to help federal employees with its scheduled food distributions across the area, including at the Eden-North Collins Food Pantry Monday from 3-5 p.m.

Federal employees can receive boxes of groceries, including chicken, potatoes and canned beans.

Another distribution is scheduled for Tuesday at the Olean Food Pantry.

More information is available on the Food Bank of WNY’s website.
