Toyota Mississippi increases capacity of mobile food pantry for Union County

Toyota Mississippi and the Mid-South Food Bank have increased the amount of food they will hand out in New Albany Friday morning due to the demand at their previous giveaways in Lee and Pontotoc counties.

The mobile pantry will now provide food for 750 households (3,000 people), which is 250 households and 1,000 people more than previous days.

Distribution is on a first come, first serve basis.

No more than three households will be allowed per vehicle.

A household is defined as:

• 1 Household: one to four people living in one house
• 2 Households: four to eight people living in one house
• 3 Households: nine or more people living in one house

Documentation required to receive food from Mid-South Food Bank:

• One client eligibility form per household (distributed at the mobile pantry). Data collected on the eligibility form is not to be shared with anyone outside of the Food Bank.
• Each household representative must present a valid ID or document, such as utility bill, showing their address in the county where the mobile pantry is taking place.

The mobile pantry will be from 9 a.m. to noon Friday, April 24, at the Union County Fairgrounds, 112 Fairgrounds Circle.
