À propos de ce contenu audio
A day with Rural Relief Mobile Food Pantry shows what it takes to move food the final mile into rural communities—real-time shortages, handwritten intake logs, and intimate acts of neighbor-to-neighbor care.
You’ll hear from:- Jason & Rena, Rural Relief Mobile Food Pantry
- Dennis, a neighbor on fixed income
- Becky Lehman, Portage County Health Commissioner (drive-through pop-up)
- Bill Childers, United Way Portage County
In this episode:
- Loading the bus: ordering “the menu,” filling gaps in the Foodbank marketplace, tossing spoiled produce, pivoting on the fly.
- Why the bus matters: 80% first-time users; reaching people who can’t get to town pantries.
- At Atwater Park: personalized dignity (snack packs for kids, ramen for a teen), and how the food always runs out right on time.
- Real stories of our neighbors: A grandmother raising four grandkids; Dennis choosing between utilities and dinner.
- Funding in motion: United Way connects Rural Relief to stable micro-grants mid-distribution.
