Actually the mobile food pantry was at Salvation Army on Main Street in June 2013 and feed a like number of people. That was funded by the Belvidere/Boone County Food Bank (Capron)
The Mobile Food Pantry, hosted by the Community Cupboard, delivered nutritious food to people in need.
The group helps many students families throughout the school year, but organizers say having a mobile pantry allows them to expand their services to others in need. Thursday was the first time the Mobile Food Pantry's been out in a couple years. And organizers say it was a success.
"It's a great opportunity to reach out to the entire community and to put more food on the tables of our students and their families during the summer months when the kids are home so there are more meals that are being made at home," said Shannon Hansen.
Roughly 200 people benefited from the Mobile Food Pantry.
