A load of Disaster Relief left Midwest Food Bank Florida today. A partnering agency, The Freedom Tour, is delivering the load to North Carolina. The load includes 720 family food boxes and bottled water. Each family food box contains enough food to feed a family of four for four to five days.
Additionally, Midwest Food Bank Florida worked with Agape Flights to help Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas. A load of generators, blankets, toilet paper and other supplies left the MFB Florida warehouse on Thursday, September 5. The government of the Bahamas will not allow food to be brought in.
“Volunteers who would like to fill family food boxes for future loads should watch our Facebook page for opportunities,” says Karl Steidinger, Executive Director of Midwest Food Bank Florida. “Those wishing to contribute financially should go to our website, midwestfoodbank.org. Financial donations give us the ability to quickly respond to relief requests.”
Midwest Food Bank has ten locations, eight in the United States, and one each in East Africa and Haiti. Its mission is to share the love of Christ, by alleviating hunger and malnutrition locally and throughout the world and providing disaster relief; all without discrimination.
