Food Finders Food Bank Inc. Mobile Pantry currently no financial requirements to receive food

Since 1981, Food Finders Food Bank has been a critical food source for the communities of 16 surrounding counties in Indiana.

 

Assistant Mobile Pantry Coordinator Andria Bradford of Lafayette say Mobile Pantry serves up to two locations a day now. They strive to provide food to those in need, advocate for the hungry, and educate the public about hunger-related issues. 

 

WROI GIANT fm News spoke with Bradford at a drop-off center in Kewanna at the corner of Logan and Aurora Street. 

 

Bradford said the Mobile Pantry hopes to provide meals for a week for families.

 

Other food providers in the area can be found at foodfinders.org.

 

A list of local food pantries from the website will also be provided at the end of the story, including their hours and addresses. 

 

 

Bradford says with the price of food skyrocketing and people needing help now than ever, the program is currently available to anyone wanting food, regardless of income.

 

 

Volunteers from various churches and businesses fill up the vehicles in a drive-thru fashion, the only thing they ask for is that the vehicles are cleaned out enough to have room to load the groceries in.
