BEATRICE - A U.S. Senator from Nebraska took a tour of a local non-profit that is celebrating 50 years of operation. Senator Deb Fischer met with volunteers of the Community Food Pantry and Emergency Services program, based at St. John Lutheran Church in Beatrice. The pantry works with donors, other churches, local businesses and the Lincoln Food Bank to meet needs in the community.
Program Coordinator Karen Mains says there’s no shortage of need. "We had 448 people and 150 families....and a year ago, we had 222 people and 75 families. So, we just doubled this year."
