FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Community Cooperative Announces August 2024 Mobile Food Pantry Times and Locations
Community Cooperative releases its August 2024 mobile food pantry schedule. For many in the community, putting food on the table is a constant struggle, which Community Cooperative recognizes and steps forward to help alleviate the burden. With a commitment to serve our community, they have adjusted their operating hours to better accommodate the start of school year. Please take note of the updated hours for all Mobile Pantry Locations.
Mobile Food Pantries are an essential service that brings fresh produce, staple foods, and vital resources directly to neighborhoods and rural areas where traditional food distribution methods may fall short. By meeting people where they are, the mobile food pantry ensures that families, seniors, and individuals facing economic hardship can access the nourishment they need with dignity and ease. Beyond alleviating hunger, this initiative fosters a sense of community and resilience, demonstrating that together, we can overcome challenges and support one another in times of need. In a region as diverse and dynamic as Southwest Florida, the mobile food pantry stands as a beacon of hope and solidarity.
Community Cooperative announces an important update regarding the location of one of their mobile food pantries located in Bonita Springs. Clients planning on visiting Community Cooperative’s mobile food pantry at the Bonita location are encouraged to take note of the new location change.
New Address: Bonita Springs YMCA, 27200 Kent Road, Bonita Springs, FL 34135
