The Community Foundation of Noble County has awarded Community Harvest with a $2,500 grant in support of the Noble County Farm Wagon mobile pantry program. This program serves food insecure residents of Noble County by providing fresh produce, dairy, and sandwich bread to individuals and families in need. The $2,500 grant will provide more than 10,000 meals to children, seniors, Veterans, and families struggling with food insecurity and its related health issues.

“We are grateful for the continued support of the Community Foundation of Noble County for the Farm Wagon program,” said Carmen Cumberland, Executive President of Community Harvest Food Bank. “Our mission is to alleviate hunger and the Foundation’s support has made that mission a reality for the residents of Noble County. Because of their generous grant, fewer families will be worrying about how to get their next meal.”

Currently, four locations in the county host the food bank’s refrigerated trucks, and volunteers assist with food distribution to individuals and families in the area.Common items distributed include salad greens, apples, potatoes, sweet corn, green beans, bell peppers, melon, squash, and much more. In addition, sandwich bread, along with available dairy products are distributed.
