Kansas Food Bank Receives $70K Grant To Help Its Mobile Food Pantry
The Kansas Food Bank announced it has received a $70,000 grant from Bank of America to help distribute food to Wichita families each month.
The grant will help the organization continue its partnership with Salud Mas Bienstar to deliver food through a mobile food pantry on the first Friday of every month at the Evergreen Neighborhood Resource Center.
The mobile food pantry serves roughly 300 households per month, including 600 children and 145 seniors.
Gus Henrici, assistant chaplain at the Tyson Fresh Meats in Perry, coordinates the mobile food pantries at the hospital and also sits on the Perry Food Pantry Board of Directors.
Tyson Foods Inc. has granted $54,250 to the Food Bank of Iowa in order to support hunger relief in the Perry area, the company announced Thursday. The Tyson Fresh Meats plant in Perry will also begin coordinating the mobile food pantry events every other month at the Dallas County Hospital.
“We’re very grateful for Tyson’s continued support and help in providing food to our local Perry community,” said Michelle Book, president and CEO of the Food Bank of Iowa. “This donation will help our organization work toward our vision of a hunger-free Iowa.”
