🎉🎉Today we recognized the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and their staff with the Collaborative Excellence award we received from Ohio Public Transit Association. They have been a key partner for our Mobile Food Pantry program. 🥕🍅🥔🫑🥒
In 2020, they donated over 220,000 lbs of fresh produce we distributed to Lake County Seniors.
The Mobile Food Pantry continues to serve Seniors each Tuesday from the Mentor Park-n-Ride. If you know a senior in need of Food, call 2-1-1.
