Sun Praire Mobile Food Pantry |
|
In August 2003, Second Harvest rolled out the Mobile Pantry Program. In partnership with a member agency, food from the Second Harvest warehouse is trucked to a neighborhood site at a prescheduled time for immediate distribution to residents. The program provides additional food to those in need and gives Second Harvest a valuable channel to increase distribution of perishable food items to ensure that good food will not go to waste. The Mobile Pantry increased its distribution 42% to over 1 million pounds of food last year and is serving hundreds of people with each scheduled visit.
Please check back to see when the next Mobile Pantry will be held. |
