Word of Righteousness Family Life Center (WORFLC) Continues Food Distribution at Garfield Heights Community Center

Word of Righteousness Family Life Center (www.worflc.org) will distribute food on Saturday, February 7, 2009 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Garfield Heights Community Center located at 13455 Dressler Avenue, formerly Roosevelt Elementary School.  Returning clients are served at 12:00 p.m.  New clients will be served at 1:00 p.m. provided supply is still available.  Eligibility guidelines are available at www.worflc.org/eligibility.htm.

            This food pantry provides direct hunger relief to families and individuals unable to afford food in this turbulent economic climate.  Massive job losses coupled with rising food costs have resulted in sharply increased demand for food support in Northeast Ohio and on a national scale.  "Retired seniors and working parents are depending upon our continued dedication to this effort," said Dr. Alicia M. Lytle, Executive Director of Word of Righteousness Family Life Center.  "The community should rest assured that we will be there to meet their needs with the cooperation and support of Garfield Heights City Schools."

            Dr. Jeanne Sternad, Superintendent of Garfield Heights City Schools shared these sentiments.  "It is important that we continue to leave the lines of communication open, and maintain the partnership that has developed" with Word of Righteousness Family Life Center.  Sternad continues, "We at Garfield Heights City Schools will continue to be committed to the education and welfare of the people of Garfield Heights."  Neither Sternad or Lytle were available for further comment on the future of the building, but instead have indicated that a joint press release will be forthcoming when the outcome is determined.
