Mobile food pantries help bring food to areas in rural communities or food deserts, where consistent access to healthy food is limited.
Each month, River Bend Food Bank partners with neighborhood organizations to host mobile food pantries throughout our service area where the need is greatest. Each mobile food pantry distribution provides about 8,000 meals and feeds hundreds of individuals. All the food is passed out in about two hours in a farmer’s market style of distribution, or pre-boxed and placed in guests’ vehicles in a drive-thru process.
