Today at 5:00 PM: Mobile Food Pantry
/
On the first Wednesday of every month, at least one hour before distribution starts, cars are lined up waiting for food assistance. In July, we served a record number of 106 households, 336 individuals, 108 children, 76 seniors and 5 veterans. A big thank you to 25 volunteers who worked in the sweltering summer heat. New to the crew included Nancy Carlson, Judy Merrills, Becky Tiedt and Lexi, 10-year-old granddaughter of Richard and Christine Johnson. The menu included apples, grapes, cucumbers, peppers, milk, cookies, pasta, mushrooms and sweet potatoes, weighing in at 5.400 pounds collectively. A small amount of surplus food was delivered to UCOM by Richard Johnson. The West Michigan Feeding America Mobile Food Pantry sponsored by St. John's, in partnership with Sudanese Grace Episcopal Church returns on August 2, 2023. Volunteers gather at 5:00 PM at 1550 Oswego NW, Grand Rapids, MI, 49504. Distribution begins at 6:00 pm.
