Putnam County residents in need can receive a hand up this weekend as a pair of events will be taking place aimed at helping residents. 

Gleaners will be distributing food Saturday in the parking lot of Bainbridge Elementary, 412 S. Washington St. 

The event begins at 10 a.m. and will last until food runs out. Residents are reminded this is a drive-thru event and open to all, with no identification necessary. 

In addition, the Putnam County Non-Food Pantry will be giving away cleaning and hygiene products Saturday afternoon. 

The event will be held at St. Andrew's Episcipal Church, 520 East Seminary St., Greencastle, from noon until 3 p.m. 

The giveaway will be held indoors and those attending can select products they wish. However, as a result, proof of residency in Putnam County is required and will have to be provided. 

In addition to the supply items, there will be lunch provided as well.
