Since early September, NMC has hosted three mobile food pantries. We would like to share some preliminary data from our first six weeks of operation. Pantries are offered twice monthly on Mondays, from 3–5 p.m. in the Maple Lot of NMC’s main campus. Those who show up are provided about 7–10 days worth of fresh foods and perishable goods, or what they need for their household. We serve both drive-thru and walk-thru participants.
