Hey Chris. Thank you for that unfortunate information.
Yes- Participants: we ALL need to SLOW DOWN
We will be sure to share this information and remind people of the speed limit and common courtesy behaviors that are expected as we graciously combat food security issues.
Regarding which participants are allowed to receive food: The food pantry is run under The Jamestown Area Community Foundation. This foundation was setup to serve all residents from peak to peak to the confluence of James and Lefthand. Once in awhile we’ll get someone from Longmont or Boulder that may have heard about us- but it is gently explained that after that night they will no longer be allowed to shop here due to the restrictions of our bylaws from the foundation. Of course our volunteers are passing on information of other pantry’s in their own neighborhoods.
I hope this information helps. Again we will be sure to address the speeding issues with volunteers and shoppers. If anyone has any other slow down tactics or suggestions (besides Randy’s damaging tires
). PLEASE LET US KNOW. We’re always looking for solutions to issues 
Thanks again for the input.
Happy Thanksgiving CommUNITY
