Trucks supplying fresh vegetables, meat, bakery items and boxed goods will be in the area as part of the Great Plains Food Bank Mobile Food Pantry program. Anyone in need of food assistance is welcome to attend and receive food at no cost.

The Mobile Food Pantry will make stops on Tuesday, June 25, at the following times and locations: Carrington at Grace Lutheran Church (95 1st Street North) from 10 a.m. until 10:45 a.m.; New Rockford in the City Hall parking lot (117 1st Street South) from 11:45 a.m. until 12:45 p.m.; Sheyenne in the high school parking lot (320 Sunnyside Avenue) from 2 p.m. until 2:45 p.m.

“Many of our clients live in rural areas and we understand the importance of making fresh and nutritious food readily available,” said Anna Johnson, who serves as regional service manager for the Great Plains Food Bank for eastern North Dakota. “Our Mobile Food Pantry and Pop-up Perishable Food Program bring trucks full of food directly into these communities and gives them a convenient opportunity to get the food they need. One in nine in North Dakota struggle with not enough food to eat each day and these programs provide them a convenient option.”

Individuals attending either distribution are asked to bring with any plastic bags or boxes to take food home with them.
