Wednesday, December 03, 2025: Mobile Food Pantry
/
A Feeding America West Michigan Mobile Food Pantry is scheduled on December 3, 2025, sponsored by St. John's UCC in partnership with Sudanese Grace Episcopal Church. Volunteers will gather at 5:00 pm at 1550 Oswego NW, Grand Rapids, MI, 49504. Last month, we distributed 7,888 pounds of food to 126 households, 418 individuals, 150 children, 87 seniors and 3 veterans. A total of 31 dedicated volunteers worked together to address food insecurity in our community. Aaron Rossell, Jeff Proulx, Brandon Dick, Stacy Bare, Makenzie and Wilder all answered our request to help. Thank you all for showing up and we hope to see you again! Beautiful hand knitted hats crafted by Carol Stechow and Fern Albers were distributed to clients waiting on cars. Richard Johnston, Jeffrey Dick and grandson Donnell, Brandon Dick, Rizzy Williams, Todd Krupp, and Aaron Rossell delivered surplus food to UCOM in multiple cars. Bags of pears were donated to Grandview Apartment's share table. A huge thank you to Jeffrey Dick for being our spokesperson for a news station WZZM interview and sharing how changes to SNAP benefits has affected our community and members of his extended family. We continue to be an equal opportunity provider. For more information about the Mobile Food Pantry, contact Teresa Markoski at 616-690-4566 or at tmarkoski2004@yahoo.com. Financial support is welcome by donating on the church app or by mailing a check to St. John's UCC, 1934 Bridge Street NW, Grand Rapids, MI, 49504. Together, we serve.
