Monthly mobile food pantries will resume this January, throughout Lee County, as a drive-thru, providing veterans and their families a week’s worth of food.
The first pantry will be held from 10 a.m. to noon Wednesday, Jan. 6, at the VA Healthcare Center, 2489 Diplomat Parkway E. in Cape Coral.
“Nationwide 25 percent of active military families are getting help from food pantries, and hunger among the 12 million veterans over the age of 60 is sadly skyrocketing,” Community Cooperative CEO Tracey Galloway said in a prepared statement.
