TCV Food Bank (Tri-City Volunteers) has added the Fremont FRC to their route with their Mobile Food Pantry, providing grocery assistance to FRC visitors coming from the Tri-City area. “The mission of the TCV Mobile Food Pantry is aligned with the mission of TCV Food Bank: To end hunger, one nutritious meal at a time”, said Taylor Johnson, TCV Food Bank and Thrift Store Executive Director. He added, “The statement on the side of our van echoes that sentiment with, Reaching Hunger Where It Lives”. The idea for a Mobile Food Pantry was born from the simple need to provide for those who have difficulty getting to the Food Bank on Joseph Street in Fremont. Every first and third Wednesday of the month beginning on Wednesday October 3, at 10.00am — the bright green van will pull up to the parking lot between the two FRC Buildings. Volunteers will help unload and set up the produce “farmer’s market” style with a variety of fresh produce, baked goods, cereals and protein, in the adjoining conference room. Anyone with a need for food is welcome to attend — there is no registration or requirements to qualify. The first 100 individuals will receive a ticket to go through the Mobile Pantry. For more information about TCV Mobile Pantry, call 510.793.4583.
