Food pantry scheduled in O'Neill

 

October 17, 2019

Hunger is as real in farming communities as it is in urban food deserts. Across the Heartland, thousands of children, families and seniors struggle with regularly obtaining the food they need to be healthy. Food Bank for the Heartland and WellCare of Nebraska are committed to helping those in need in rural communities.

Food Bank for the Heartland is partnering with WellCare to host a free mobile food pantry in O'Neill, Tuesday, Oct. 29, from 4 to 6 p.m., or until all of the food has been distributed. The mobile pantry will be part of a farmer's market at First United Methodist Church, 404 W Cedar St., O'Neill.

Those in need of food assistance, living in Holt County and surrounding communities, are welcome. Families and individuals are encouraged to bring boxes or bags to assist in carrying the food they receive. No identification is required to receive food.
