Mobile food pantry set for Monday in Linton; free turkey breasts, health screenings available
/The Greene County Mobile Food Pantry will return to Humphreys Park on Monday, Nov. 16, with a special Thanksgiving giveaway and additional free services for area residents.
The drive-thru food distribution will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the park, located at 1300 A St. NE in Linton, and continue while supplies last.
According to Wendy Bailey of Empowering Passion Consulting, 4-pound turkey breasts will be distributed free of charge thanks to the generosity of six donors. The turkey breasts will be available while supplies last.
In addition to the food distribution, several free services will be offered during the event.
Tandem will provide free diapers and car seat checks, while free health screenings and flu shots will be available at the park's West Shelter House.
The monthly mobile food pantry is made possible through partnerships with Catholic Charities Terre Haute, Empowering Passion Consulting and numerous community organizations, businesses and volunteers.
Bailey emphasized the importance of community support, particularly as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches.
"No one should have to face the holidays wondering where their next meal will come from," Bailey said. "Together, we can make a difference, one family at a time!"
Volunteers are also needed to assist with the distribution. Those interested in helping can register online at https://forms.gle/1BHeFqwWxzcWKLk27 or scan the QR code on the event flyer.
