LifeHouse food box distribution helps Fremonters in need

Julie Sleister described the Farmers to Families Food Box program as a short-term blessing. Over the last six weeks, Care Corps’ LifeHouse distributed 1,200 Farmers to Families Food Boxes and 1,200 gallons of milk to Fremonters in need. Sleister, the executive managing director, estimates more than 3,000 people benefitted from the food before distribution ended this week. Considering the great need, Sleister continues to encourage the public to donate cash and nonperishable food items to the LifeHouse food pantry as the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for food. “Food insecurity in our community is higher than it’s been by almost 75 percent from a year ago,” she said.

His Compassion gave food for 10 million meals in 2020 in Marion County

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, His Compassion Food Bank isn’t hard to find. Just look for the line of cars parked adjacent to northeast Jacksonville Road. The line often stretches up to three-quarters of a mile back toward County Road 326 as people wait in the outreach’s food distribution drive-through car line.  In 2020, His Compassion volunteers took in and then distributed over 13 million pounds of food in the drive-throughs and also provided bulk amounts of food for 82 local community agencies and churches. Food bank officials say this year is starting off with increased need spurred by the coronavirus pandemic. “We are seeing people come through our car line for the first time needing food because they lost their job. The need for nutritious food  especially for children  has also increased greatly in the remote areas of the county, said Les Bowen, secretary- treasurer for His Compassion.
