NEXT SCHEDULED MOBILE FOOD PANTRY PICK UP

March 30, 2010 (Tuesday)

Pick up of the food will be from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM

No registrations will be taken by phone!

Clients who received a "pre-picked number" at the February Mobile Pantry will be served first. At 6 PM, others may come and be served if there is any remaining food and receive a number for the next month's Mobile Pantry (if there are any numbers left).

As a reminder, here are key points relating to the Mobile Food Pantry:

You should bring identification and proof of residency indicating you live in the Sun Prairie School District.

• Proof of residency may include a driver's license, a state ID card, current utility bill or current lease.

• The type of food provided is based on what is available at Second Harvest at the time of the Mobile Food Pantry.

VERY IMPORTANT: Food received from the Mobile Food Pantry does NOT affect your ability to receive food through the Pantry once every 30 days.

In August 2003, Second Harvest rolled out the Mobile Pantry Program. In partnership with a member agency, food from the Second Harvest warehouse is trucked to a neighborhood site at a prescheduled time for immediate distribution to residents. The program provides additional food to those in need and gives Second Harvest a valuable channel to increase distribution of perishable food items to ensure that good food will not go to waste. The Mobile Pantry increased its distribution 42% to over 1 million pounds of food last year and is serving hundreds of people with each scheduled visit.
