Mobile Food Pantry To Make Stops
Trucks supplying food will be making stops in the area on Tuesday, June 3 and Wednesday, June 4 as part of the Great Plains Food Bank Program. Anyone in need of food assistance from any community is welcome to attend these drive through distributions.
The Mobile Food Pantry provides fresh vegetables, fruits, shelf-stable items, meat, bakery items, boxed goods and much more to communities in need. Items are distributed right off the truck by staff and volunteers and delivered directly to people in need.
Clients will remain in their vehicle and complete a short intake form onsite and then drive through the distribution line. Those who cannot attend may designate someone to pick up for them.
On Tuesday, June 3, there will be two stops. The first stop will be in Mandaree from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in the Water Chief Hall parking lot located at 105 4th Ave. NE. The second will be at the Northern Lights Community Building located at 710 East Ave. N in New Town from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.
On Wednesday, June 4, the truck will be at North Country Oil located at 7258 38th St. NW in Parshall starting at 4:00 p.m. until the food is gone.
Established in 2008, the Mobile Food Pantry and Pop-up Perishable Food Program are two programs of the Great Plains Food Bank bringing food and produce into rural communities struggling with access to food assistance.
