Kayla Castonguay, left, and Shawn Boyd load 37 bags of food into the back of a truck Thursday at the PAL Center at 24 Chestnut St. in Auburn. Each week, city employees use the kitchen at the center to prepare meals for 250 households through the Grab and Go Program. Boyd said the program started during the COVID-19 pandemic when seniors were not able to get out of their homes. It now helps seniors on fixed incomes, as well as families during tough times. “Shopping for food is so expensive,” said Jim Collins, who helps with the program. “A lot of people just can’t afford what is out there.” Boyd said the food is purchased from the Good Shepherd Food Bank in Auburn.
