Community Food Distribution Event A Success

Date: 11/18/2022

We were pleased to partner with the Good Shepherd Food Bank to offer a community food distribution event on November 17. We distributed 215 bags filled with fresh fruits, vegetables, chickens, and various non-perishable items. Any extra food items left over were donated to the food pantry at MCI. In addition, we distributed free COVID test kits to those who attended. Our staff volunteers helped pack the bags and load the food into recipients’ cars, and we’d like to thank those employees for their time and energy! 

We received wonderful feedback from the community members that participated in the event. Many were grateful for what they received, especially with the holidays approaching.
