The Caring Place, which operates a food pantry at 2000 Railroad Ave., Georgetown, received a $3,000 grant in January from the Central Texas Food Bank’s ReThink Hunger grant program. The funding will allow The Caring Place to buy four new shelves as well as a 49-cubic-foot freezer to replace an older, smaller unit. The nonprofit organization, which provides basic services for families in financial crisis, reports demand for its services has grown steadily since 2013. 512-943-0700.
