Pictured here are Dennis and Rose Jaeckin with Joseph Hrinda. Dennis and Rose with the Plymouth Shiloh Food Pantry, distribute food at different locations throughout the county --helping to feed the hungry. Joseph Hrinda is the Agency Relations Coordinator of the Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio which supplies food to pantries throughout this and several other counties.
The Mobile Express team talked to over 200 people who were waiting for farm fresh veggies. All the people fell under 200% of the federal poverty guideline. Some people waited an hour in line to receive an armload of produce to share with their families. Ten OBB applications were completed for various benefits including food assistance, medicare premium assistance and voter registration.
While talking with folks in line, I met one of the bakers for Pepperidge Farm cookies. She bakes one of my favorites --Milanos, and every time I bite into one of those delectable cookies, I will remember those who we help along the way. Noted: If there is ever a Milano distribution in Ohio, the OBB Mobile Express will be first on the scene!
