Mobile Food Pantry Serves 304 Families

The drive thru mobile food pantry Saturday morning was a huge success.
Food boxes were given to 304 families regardless of their income status. The event, held in partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank, was sponsored by the Smithville Cumberland Presbyterian Church as part of its community outreach ministry, but other volunteers also participated.
Unlike most food distributions, those served by Saturday’s mobile pantry did not have to get out of their automobiles. They simply drove thru in a pickup line as volunteers delivered the food directly to their vehicles, placing the food boxes either in the back seat or trunk.
The church expresses its appreciation to the volunteers for their help Saturday and is hoping to have more mobile food pantries in the future.
