Angels of Action partners with Feeding America to bring the Mobile Food Pantry program to Mecosta County. It brings fresh groceries directly into communities with a high need for food support.
A Mobile Food Pantry is essentially a farmer’s market on wheels, so it’s an effective avenue for distributing fresh, perishable food to those who need it. In preparation for each event, one of the food bank’s trucks is filled with 5,000 – 20,000 pounds of food — at least half of which is fresh produce.
The Big Rapids Mobile Food Pantry happens once a month to help assist families who experience food insecurity in the Mecosta County area. The first ever Mobile Food Truck pulled into the Mecosta County Fairgrounds in April of 2020 and continues to arrive monthly thanks to a working collaboration between Angels of Action, Manna Pantry of Big Rapids, and other generous community donors.
1,521 families benefited from the Mobile Food Pantry in 2022.
