HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — OneGenAway and Refuge Church are partnering up to bring a Mobile Food Pantry event on Saturday, July 13, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. at the Calhoun Community College parking lot in Huntsville. The OneGenAway mobile pantry provides fresh produce, dry goods, and more to anyone in need, no questions asked.
“When school is out for the summer, many families become more susceptible to food insecurity,” said Chris Whitney, the founder and CEO of OneGenAway. “With grocery prices rising at such a high rate, food is difficult enough to obtain, and new school supplies can further strain the budget. We hope coming together with Refuge Church to provide food relieves some of that late-summer stress for families.”
Here's how the OneGenAway mobile pantry works:
- No registration or paperwork is necessary to receive food.
- Simply drive to the mobile pantry, open your trunk, and volunteers will handle the rest, rain or shine.
- One cart per car: To ensure fairness, each car receives one load of food. If multiple households are in one car, they can go through the line again.
Volunteers will begin sorting and organizing food and backpacks at 7:30 a.m. No registration is required to receive or volunteer. The mobile food pantry will take place in the college parking lot at 102 Wynn Drive Northwest.
