Mobile Food Pantries Reduce Hunger and Food Waste

Tuesday, December 13, 2011

• The ability to reach unserved and underserved areas.
• Lessens the burden and restrictions on a typical pantry.  No need for a brick and mortar facility, freezers, or having to “find a home.”
• Allows more agencies and groups to become involved with feeding hungry people..  Nearly any organization can sponsor a mobile pantry.
• Let us come to you! Please contact Joy if you are interested in setting up a Mobile Food Pantry.
