Mobile Food Pantry
Agencies can host a
mobile Food Pantry virtually anywhere. Product is delivered either
in a beverage truck with roll-up bay doors or a straight trailer to the agency’s
site of choice. The pop truck will be unhitched and left at the site or with a
straight trailer, the product on pallets will be off-loaded at the site for
agency distribution.
How to Organize a Mobile Food Pantry...
Find a location for distribution. This
may be the parking lot of your agency, a school, or other easily accessible
location within the community- Make sure you have permission first! - Schedule
a day and time for delivery with the Food Bank. - Announce the time of
distribution to your clients and others in the neighborhood who are in need. -
On the day of distribution, have volunteers on-site to help distribute food and
record who received it. - After the food is distributed, dispose of all trash
and return pallets and unused boxes to trailer bays.
