Mobile food pantry series begins Wednesday

If you are over 55, Feeding America of Eastern Wisconsin can help you fill your pantry and refrigerator at home.

 

The organization is hosting a series of drive-thru mobile food pantry events beginning on Wednesday for seniors at Holy Name of Mary Food Pantry in Maplewood—the events will also take place on November  15th and December 6th from 10 a.m. to noon.

 

According to the most recent consumer price index report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, grocery prices rose 3.7 percent year over year in September. The website NerdWallet explains that while staples like eggs (14.5 percent), pork (4.3 percent), and butter (four percent) have gone down in price, others like frozen vegetables (11.6 percent), beef (seven to ten percent), and white bread (7.8 percent) have gone up. With so many seniors living on a fixed income, United Way of Door County Executive Director Amy Kohnle says these mobile food pantry events come at a great time.

Only 70 boxes are available at each event and will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. You can find additional details below.
