Today at 5:00 PM: Mobile Food Pantry
/
September brings another opportunity to transform the world through the power of hope. The July Feeding America Mobile Food Pantry sponsored by St. John's UCC in partnership with Sudanese Grace Episcopal Church broke many records. Over 5,000 pounds of food was distributed to 124 households, 415 individuals, 97 seniors, 143 children and 22 veterans. Twelve additional families were turned away without any food but were given resources on how to find food close to home. A record of 29 volunteers served at last month's event. Kyle Bernier, a high school student brought 3 friends new to the Mobile Food Panty crew. Christine Johnson was able to step in for traveling Richard Johnson. Some clients were gifted garden-fresh produce from the garden of Becky Tiedt. On September 6, 2023, volunteers will gather at 5:00pm at 1550 Oswego NW., Grand Rapids, MI 49504. Distribution will begin at 6 pm and will continue until we run out of food. For more information feel free to contact Teresa Markoski at 616-690-4566 or at tmarkoski2004@yahoo.com. Finacial support is always welcome by using the church app or writing a personal check to St. John's UCC, 1934 Bridge Street NW, Grand Rapids, MI, 49504. Thank you for making a difference in the world. Together, we serve.
