Mobil Food Pantry - Brilliant

August 26, 2011

In Missouri, if you can't make it to the food pantry, it just might come to you. 

The mobile pantry is actually a truck carrying 14,000 pounds of food.  That translates to 10,500 meals in one truck!

With three refrigeration compartments and four dry compartments, items like meat and dairy products can safely be delivered to locations that dont have room to house a  brick and mortar food pantry. There is even a compartment holding tables to set the mobile pantry on display, once the truck arrives. 

To donate to, or find out the mobile route for the Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri, check out their website

The truck was donated to the food bank by Kraft Foods, and is one of 10 donated around the US. 

This year, Kraft hopes to be able to donate over 25 million meals, through its Huddle to Fight Hunger event. For every "Like" they receive on their Facebook page, they will donate one meal to your local Feeding America Food Bank.
