Today at 5PM: Mobile Food Pantry

/

The next Feeding America West Michigan Mobile Food Pantry sponsored by St. John's in partnership with Sudanese Grace Episcopal Church will take place on August 6, 2025, at 1550 Oswego NW, Grand Rapids, MI. 49504.   Volunteers will gather at 5:00pm., distribution will begin at 6:00pm.  Last month, we distributed food to 91 households, 280 individuals, 95 children, 62 seniors and 6 veterans.  A total of 27 amazing team members showed up to make a difference.  With lower numbers of clients in attendance to receive food boxes, we were able to share a generous amount of fruit and vegetables with UCOM delivered by Richard Johnston, Jeffrey Dick, and Laura Sue Roede. We remain an equal opportunity provider.  For more information about the Mobile Food Pantry, feel free to call Teresa Markoski @ 616-690-4566 or email at tmarkoski@2004@yahoo.com.  Financial support is always welcome by donating in the church app, or by writing a personal check that can be placed in the church collection basket. The mailing address for St.  John's is 1934 Bridge Street NW, Grand Rapids, MI, 49504.  Together, we serve.
