No matter the weather — rain, snow, ice, or cold — this is something we’re always grateful to show up for!

Twice a month at the Mart Dock, Feeding America brings in a food truck so churches, food pantries, and local nonprofits can pick up supplies to help serve our community.

We’re especially thankful for Jeff and Greg, who take time out of their busy schedules to help load cars and make sure everything runs smoothly for the organizations coming through.

It’s a simple but powerful reminder of what can happen when people and organizations come together with a shared goal of helping others. 💙

Thank you to everyone involved — from the volunteers to the organizations distributing the food — for the work you do every day.
