More than 150 families filled shopping carts with food brought in by Lutheran Social Services. Over the past 15 months food for 495,000 meals has been provided for Meigs County families.
It was food pantry day in Pomeroy and the Lutheran Social Services big yellow truck filled to the brim with food rolled into town mid-morning.
Once parked on the lot across from the Sacred Heart Church, volunteers from around the county began unloading food and the process of distributing it to more than 150 waiting families began.
According to Mark McPherson, mobile food pantry manager for Lutheran Social Services, enough food for 495,000 meals has been distributed in Meigs County since that first visit in February 2009.
“We’re here because we care,” said McPherson when accepting a donation from the Knights of Columbus.
