Items needed are toilet paper, soap, shampoo, razors, diapers, paper towels, feminine hygiene, toothpaste, and other basic items. The Center is open from 8:30am to 2:30pm. The food pantry needs restocking of peanut butter, jelly, breakfast items, and canned fruit. Each Wednesday, USDA Food is distributed from the Chase High Road Center to eligible Rutherford County residents. Food is given away from 9-10:30am. Currently fresh produce is available. Low income guidelines are posted on the Center's Facebook page. Beginning Wednesday, August 18, those who want to receive food are asked to use the parking area at the Chase High School Stadium in the grass. There will be a parking attendant to monitor the traffi c and lines. "Chase High School has been fantastic about allowing us the last year and half to use their main parking, but with school restarting we need to respect their space," said director Cynthia Cooper. Free transportation is offered by Rutherford County Transit.
