OWEGO, NY (607NewsNow) – The Tioga County Rural Ministry (TCRM) is changing hours of operation.

Effective October 1, TCRM’s food pantry will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the last Thursday of every month.

Officials say the adjustment is due to low attendance, and the adjustment will allow them to serve the community more effectively.

The pantry remains open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and all other Thursdays in the month. The pantry is also open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Fridays.
