  • Mobile Food Distribution brings large quantities of fresh produce via mobile tractor/trailers into individual neighborhoods weekly, serving up to 700 individuals per truck load

  • and Children’s Nutritional Outreach provides weekend food through Backpack Buddies during the school year and weekly Kidz Pacz in the summer.
