Mobile Pantry to service Belle following closure of Storehouse

Posted

The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri will temporarily be operating a Mobile Pantry in Belle in response to the closing of the CAS Projects Storehouse Food Pantry. The addition will ensure food distribution continues in the area.

The Mobile Pantry will be open the fourth Tuesday of every month from 10 a.m. to noon in the parking lot adjacent to First Baptist Church on 203 Second St. in Belle. To pick up food, participants will need a photo ID with a Belle or Bland address. People are asked not to arrive before 9:15 a.m.

Residents of Osage County that do not have a Belle or Bland address should go to the Good Shepherd Food Pantry in Linn. Residents of Maries County without a Belle or Bland address should visit the Loaves and Fishes Pantry in Vienna.

Seniors receiving Commodity Supplemental Food Program boxes will be called with instructions on how they will receive or pick up their boxes. The boxes will be available the same day as the Mobile Pantry, and pick-up will be prearranged by The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri.

“After many years of great partnership, The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri is sad to see CAS Storehouse Pantry close,” said Melissa Schulte, agency relations coordinator. “The program made a difference in the lives of many people over many years and will be greatly missed.”

Participants are encourage to bring boxes, laundry boxes, laundry baskets, shopping bags or grocery sacks to collect their food. Bags or boxes will not be provided. Restroom facilities will not be available as the mobile will be held outside, and there is no smoking allowed in the church parking lot.
