In December, the MLK Community Center cut the ribbon and officially launched our new Mobile Food Pantry, made possible by the generosity of underwriting donors Nancy and Doug Horsey. The new state-of-the-art vehicle has refrigeration for perishables like meat, milk, and eggs, more storage for pantry items, and on-site data collection, and will allow us to serve more people in our community.
