To the editor:
The Midland County Emergency Food Pantry Network held its fifth mobile food pantry of the year in the parking lot of Dow Diamond, home of the Great Lakes Loons on Friday, April 3. The food giveaway was provided free-of-charge by the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan in Flint.
Thirty volunteers served 273 families (815 individuals) with 16,984 pounds of food. The free distribution included milk, cabbage, sliced apples, honeydew melons, potatoes, cereals and boxed and canned items.
Because of the vital pandemic guidelines, recipients of food remained in their vehicles for registration and for food delivery. (This process will be the standard for upcoming mobile events.)
The network is also very grateful to the many donors of food, money and time throughout the year to the network's mission of "Always food in every home."
Midland County residents in (financial) need of food and personal care items during the year may call the network at 989-486-9393 to leave your name and phone number. Thanks again to the Great Lakes Loons and to the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan for their generous partnership with EFPN in this ministry.
