Midwest Food Bank Bolstered by $10,000 Grant from Hendrickson Family Foundation Amidst Surging Demand

In response to an escalating demand exacerbated by inflation and cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the Midwest Food Bank (MFB) has been granted $10,000 by the Carl R. Hendrickson Family Foundation. MFB, which supplies free food to over 2,200 nonprofit agencies monthly, plans to utilize the funds chiefly for equipment maintenance and fueling its truck fleet and volunteer drivers to gather donated food. With a pressing need for additional support, MFB encourages monetary donations, enabling them to swiftly and effectively meet emerging necessities. Donations towards equipment upkeep and food transportation can be made through their website or via text.
